>I am writing to further underscore the problem discussed about anti-lock
brake lite being on thus indicating that ABS is OFF and at the same time the
front differential lock lite comes on.
>A further  complexity.  When I manually turn the differential lock switch
the lights do not come on at all for the differential locks.
>Finally I have put the car up on jack stands at all 4 corners and it seems
to me that the rear differential is constantly engaged. Yesterday after
having new tires put on I wanted to check the lug nut torque and I put up
each side of the car.  When one side was up the front and rear both turned
through the drive shaft.
>So I have stated two separate problems but both involve the all wheel system.
>I would really appreciate some careful responses  to this  so that I can
tell  if the system needs  alot of work or just what the deal is on the all
wheel drive.
>How do those little switches on the panel work to activate the differenntials?
>Well those are my questions - I did not provide any answers.  I only
created more questions.  I sure hope one of you can give ssome insight on
this matter.
>Thank you.  John.  <stdynamics@northnap.citynet.net>
