There are quite a few threads on this already, even though the solution may be the same in end I couldn't seem to find anything with my scenario.
I have a new to me 1995 FZJ80 with 213k. There is no CDL switch. I only have a CDL and NO diff locks. I was able to test out low range / 4wd over the weekend and now the CDL will not unlock. It is not stuck in low range only the CDL is engaged, I can tell because my turning radius is terrible, and I can feel the front scrubbing / plowing.
Using the threads here and the write up from Steve on PNW adventures
Things I looked at:
- drive backwards a lot, only did about half circle when I was dirt.
- relay audibly clicks going into low range
- relay DOES NOT audibly click going into high range
- 6 ohms across actuator pins 2 and 3
- open circuit (infinite resistance I guess) between 2 or 3 and ground
- L4 switch verified working
- relay has continuity between 1-2, 2-4 and NOT 6-7
- Im by myself but I can not hear the actuator motor even trying, and nothing with a paper clip
- fuses are good, although the diff one is only 20amps
I was not able to do the voltage checks because I don't have the tiny aligator clips but they are on the way.
Does anything jump out at you?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
