Ok, I know there are many of these threads and I think I have read most if not all. First things first, I have a 94 with OEM lockers. My situation is different in that my CDL is stuck locked with the ABS and CDL light on. I know it is physically locked because it chirps and jerks if I make tight corners. I have a quite a back story on this but for now just know it has been locked for almost a year. I have not driven very much during this last year. I recently moved and just haven't had time to troubleshoot this very much...just off and on. I suspected the relay because I heard it clicking over and over while four wheeling one of the last times I took it out. I also don't hear the actuator motor whirring or any noise for that matter when I lock or unlock the CDL. Oh, I almost forgot. As part of my troubleshooting I installed a CDL switch (that I have probably had for 10 years!) and did the 7 pin mod. I also have checked the fuses and replaced them even though they checked good. I read that the clicking is a good sign the relay is bad and that makes sense so I bought a used one and tried it. No go, no sounds.
I guess my question for now is, do you think I should always hear a click from the relay when trying to engage or disengage if the actuator is bad/stuck? I am just trying to think about my plan of attach. Since I don't hear anything I thought maybe I should troubleshoot the wiring between the relay and the fuse before I drop the case to remove the actuator.
thanks!
