Charles,
Part of what you describe might be the same experience I had when initially
"testing" the diff lock on my late 200q. Seems when I tried to turn the
diff. lock OFF, I wasn't allowing time for the necessary forward movement
of the vehicle. So, impatiently, I would press again, which of course had
the effect of turning back ON. Eventually I realized the vehicle needed to
move about 10 or 20 feet and the differential would unlock--reliably. Never
had it come on all by itself, however. Hope this helps.

Phil
