Need to get rear locker fixed (1 Viewer)

[custyota]

I have a 1999 100 series and the rear locker is not currently working. I know nothing about lockers, could be electrical or a mechanical issues. Does anyone have experience with working on these? I'm willing to pay in beer/food. Or can someone recommend a shop that can fix it? Thanks.

We don't currently have another wrench day scheduled on the books but could probably find some time to mess around with it. I don't have experience with the e-locker but it can't be that difficult. If never engaged before the actuator is probably gummed up.

Oh, and the obvious question, have you tried driving figure 8 while in low range to engage it? The rear locker wont engage in hi range.

I'd try Pro Gear down in Clairemont on Roson Rd. They just installed a rear E locker in my 200? You can do some simple electrical checks, fuse, switch etc pretty easy.

SD Trux is another option if you end up taking it to a shop.

Thanks for the info. I will try some figure 8s this weekend out in the desert and check out the electrical.

Of coarse don't forget our friendly folks up a Bent Motorsport... San Marcos.

I did some figure 8 donuts out in the desert. After my third figure 8 the light came on for the rear locker, but the center diff lock light went off. Does that mean anything? Thank you all for your advice and knowledge.

I'm heading to Utah to do it at a buddy's shop, parts at cost plus his experience equals less head aches for me lol plus using a lift will help
