Hi guys,
I replaced the center diff lock switch located on the differential last night. Part number is 84222-12010. I had a tough time getting the existing switch out given some surface rust, but finally figured out if I put the adjustable wrench parallel to the drive train and then put a prybar on it using the driveline as a leverage point, it came right out. I tested the old switch on my multi-meter for continuity. Though the readings did change as I actuated it, they were very inconsistent and kept jumping around, which makes me think the switch was bad, hence why I was seeing the dash lights intermittently. I'll try to fix the old switch to hold onto as a spare.
My question is about how tight the new switch should be torgued. I put a small dot of anti-seize on the threads towards the base of the switch and tightened with my fingers plus about 1/8-1/4 turn more. Think this is snug enough? Is it okay I put a little anti-seize on the threads?
Thanks in advance!
