Rear differential stuck in locked position.
My '01 tacoma won't unlock the differential with the button in the cab. Any suggestions besides a replacement?
Thanks, Ryan.

Did you drive it in an 'S' pattern?

One of the benefits of the e-locker over air locker is that it can fail in the locked position. Airlockers unlock not so good if you still need the traction. I've read that you need to pull the solenoid then take a flat screw driver to unlock the diff. Then you can trouble shift the solenoid. Keep the opening covered to protect from dirt and debris from enterring the diff.

Hope this helps, good luck.
