Diff lock not engaging
The diff lock on my 97 4runner will not engage. The light keeps on blinking.
I do hear the solenoid energizing but it definitively will not lock. If you have any ideas of what it could be, please let me know.
Thanks a bunch!!!

David, thanks for the speedy response. I never had to drive far before to get it locked. Usualy after a few feet the lock indication light will stays lit, and the lock will be angaged. But I will take your advice and try to do some figure eights next time to see if it helps. It's got to be mechenical, because the servo motor doas make that switching noise. What do you think?

Same thing with unlocking--you might need to make a few slight turns or play with the accelerator to unload tension on the locking sleeve for it to disengage.
