Well i am a new owner of a 1994 land cruiser with front and rear lockers. First a little background on my truck, it was owned by a lady in southern CA. from new, till it had 92500 miles it, it now has 101600 miles on it. While the lady owned it she took it to a Toyota dealer and had all maintenance work done by them. The dealer followed the full maintenance schedule on changing or replacing everything at the miles listed per the "A" maintenance schedule in the factory service manual.
Now on to my problem, it would seem that the whole time she owned the truck she never once put the truck in to low range or used the front or rear lockers. I bought a center diff lock switch and installed it and found out that when i switched it on i got no center diff lock light or ABS light on my dash and the front and rear diff lights just flashed when they were turned on. I then tried shifting the TC in to low and got no center diff light on the dash and the front and rear diff lights still just flashed. I read up on this problem here on "Ihatemud" and found out that it could be a problem with a switch on the TC. I removed that switch, tested it with my meter and sure enough, the switch was the problem. I worked the ball on the end of the switch back and forth about 50 times and was able to free it up and now it works.
I reinstalled the switch and now both the center diff lock switch and the low range on the TC works to engage the center diff lock. I then tried the front and read diff locks and i can hear the relay for the front and rear diff locks click once when the rear engages, but when i switch on both the front and rear lockers i don't hear any click from the relay and the light on the dash for the front just flashes. I then got under the truck and tapped on the front diff lock (another member in another thread said this might help) to see if it was stuck and still nothing. So next i got under the truck and removed all four jack stands and drove the truck out to a dirt lot to try some S turns that another member in another thread said might help engage the front diff lock, but it still won't engage.
So where do i go from here to get the front diff lock to work????????
