RE: Diff. Locks (was RE: Nefarious Forces !?!)

[Mark Nelson <mnelson@brls.com>]

Get some contact cleaner and take the switch out and clean all the
electrical contacts.  See if this clears it up first, but if not, then
we can try some other things.  From what I've seen, it's just the switch
has a tendency to get a lot of dirt down in there due to its location on
the center console.

cya!

<<I had a chance to try out the Diff lock earlier this week.  Worked
great 
and I was very happy with my '89 Q90.  Unfortunately, something strange
has 
happened.  Occasionally, the Q will lock the diff now.  I've pressed the

switch to turn it off, but there are times when it takes several presses
to 
get the diff to disengage. (Thank the gods that the Antilock light comes
on 
in the console or I'd notice it only when trying to turn!!)  Anyways,
I'm 
hoping that it's merely a question of the switch needing a good 
lubricating.  Is there an easy way for me to get some silicon or WD-40
into 
the switch?>>
