So I have a 2006 Land Cruiser 100 and I took it for a carwash. After the wash, I got in the car, and drove it a few feet before noticing that the parking brake was engaged. I stopped, turned it off, and kept driving. Soon I noticed that the light that shows the vehicle's suspension with a X going thru it had turned on and that turns seemed sort of wobbly on the car. I stopped it on the side of the road, messed with the settings a bit, and soon the car wouldn't drive. Lucky, I got it to work again, but the light is still on and the car still feels a little wobbly when driving it.

Any tips on how to turn it off? What turned it on, me accidentally driving with the brake engaged?
 
Push the center diff lock switch on the dash located below the hazard switch. They pushed it when wiping the interior down. What "settings" did you mess with, cuz it's just engaged/disengaged.
 
Center diff lock? You may have hit the center diff switch while wiping the center console?

Also, I wouldn't drive on dry pavement (turning anyway) with the CDL engaged.
 
Since the OP thinks it's a suspension with a X through it, I'm gonna guess they spun the AHC dial back and forth and pushed the OFF button a few times, then haphazardly shifted the T-Case around like you mentioned.
 
Whew! Thanks guys. Maybe im crazy. I hit that button on the dash like 15 times in the lot and nothing happened but I went back outside I hit it and it went away. :doh:

It's spring operated. The button moves a motor which pushes a spring to engage/disengage. The lock/unlock event wont happen until the gears unload. The indicator is driven by the lock not by the switch.
