When I put Humpty-Dumpty back together I put the 2
vac. hoses on the wrong side of the actuator. Duh!
Had a brain fart when I looked in Bentley. Diff. was
locked, lights on the control wouldn't work, and the
ABS light was on. As soon as I pulled out of the
garage, the rear tires started scrubbing something
fierce, and I KNEW what happened. As if the other
clues weren't enough! Switched the blue and yeller
hoses and everything worked fine. If you raise 1 rear
wheel with the E-brake off, you can tell really easily
if it unlocks. Look to see if the actuator lever
moves through it's range of motion.
