Center diff lock

[Tools R Us]

Just a guess, it maybe locked on purpose? Maybe a stripped drive plate, there are a few reasons why it could be part time?

^This is where my fuse question was leading.

You may find it's missing from the panel.

OK found out some more info. The previous owner said he was pulling a trailer and it the central diff came on and did not cut off. Fyi

If the ABS light comes on and stays on it's quite possible the relay isn't in the truck, mine wasn't when I bought it and I prefer the lack of ABS. That relay will be in the box under the hood.

If you’re looking for a center locking diff switch for a 96 and new 80 series I found one in a rav4 at the scrap yard . I would way rather pay 5$ than 150+

It allso has the same pin configuration no mods needed

You can also use a hazard light switch but you will need to mod it by removing the plastic ridge
