2000 trd taco rr diff lock issues

im having a major issue with my differential. while i was driving on the hwy the lock light was on steady...but i was in 2wd. it eventually turned off after a bit but would flicker randomly too. when i stopped and put it in 4lo and actually tried to lock it the light will just blink..tried moving forward/back, turning, but nothing would get it to stay on steady, but i can hear the actuator motor moving when i first hit the button. i had a friend drive slow in circles as i walked next to it....almost seemed like it was locked bcuz the inside tire was skipping across the ground too. then put back in 2wd kept circling and it was definitley only driving one tire.

now driving in 2wd when i get up to about 10-15 mph its just popping and clicking like crazy. i don't know if the motor has the lock half way engaged or if something is broke.

any ideas? thank you.

after driving it around a lil more i got to thinking that it is locking, i can hear the motor move and can hear it lock, but the light never stays on just blinks. when i hit the button to unlock i can hear the motor move then i put it in 2wd, when i get a lil speed it starts making that noise. do you think the motor isn't disengaging the locker all the way?
