4kq differential locks ?s

[Shawn Manny]

They nipples on the actuators are only plastic, they may break off and
if they break when the diff is locked it'll stay that way. IIRC the
center lock is on the drivers side (us spec cars) ontop of the tranny
under the tunnel. The rear lock id on the drivers side as well on the
pumpkin. You may also have a short or bad connection making the light
stay on. Grab your bently and start tracing vac lines, look for broken
plastic chassis lines and shot old rubber under body lines.
