I've been researching this site and others trying to figure out my locker issue. I have a 1997, 80 series Cruiser that I bought last year. I've been fixing things here and there as I get time.
When I engage the differential in Low, no lights come on the dash. I try to engage the lockers and the differential lights on the dash flash and I do not hear any clicks or motor noise trying to engage the lockers. If I put it in Low and drive then turn the wheels left and right, the lockers still do not engage. I've pulled the front and rear sensor from the lockers and tested them with an ohmmeter and they both tested fine.
I was looking at this and it says that the ABS light and the Center Diff light should come on after engaging the differential in Low.

I pulled the dash apart looking for burned bulbs but I don't know if there is a Center Diff light or not with a triple lock cruiser. I do know the ABS light works when you first turn on the key.
Should I have the ABS light and Center Diff light come on when engaging it into Low? If so, what is the cause of that, the sensor or the CDL? I have looked for a replacement sensor and couldn't find one that looked like the right part.
