I recently purchased a 97' 80 with 124k on it. It has the locker option, but when i turn the switch to either position the indicator light keeps blinking (more than a few seconds). I don't think they've ever been used. (bought from original owner who had no idea what a dif. lock was) Tips?

You must be in low to activate the lockers, and the CDL light and ABS lights should be lit.
I suggest you search for "locker exercise"

make sure its in LOW.
try turning a little in either direction to get the tires to rotate at different speeds and allow the splines to line up
Mine did the same when I tried to lock both diffs for the first time. A little patience and turning steering wheel Left to Right while moving at ~idle fixed it. Second time was much easier and now they don't hesitate anymore.

I had the exact same thing..
I finally understand now that I need to actually be in a real situation for them to engage properly, which they do. When I first bought the cruiser I thought I could just stop in some parking lot and have them go in and out with no trouble and was thinking they didn't work because of trying this.
Now that I've tried them in real situations I see they engage just fine, when they are actually needed. Otherwise they take awhile to get them in and out( on flat level ground with good traction ). Also, I don't think it's good for them to try and use them like that.
