90q self activating diff lock

No, I haven't spent time trying to troubleshoot this problem.  It became much too, cold and my garage is unheated.  I ruled out the switch because the temperature inside the car is 70 degrees.  Perhaps this is a false assumption.  Seems as though the resistance of an electrical component is changing with increased temperature and engaging the diff.

How do you know that isn't the switch having a problem? Did you ever 
figure out what was causing the anomolous activation at higher temps?
