Question tacoma rear diff lock and abs lights????

Hi,
I drive a 2000 tacoma TRD. My ABS light and my rear diff lock light came on this week. I checked for blown fuses and don't have any. They have gone off twice but came back on shortly thereafter. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes but this didn't change anything. If anyone else has had this problem or has a suggestion I'd like to hear it.

Jonathan

The abs light shows when the locker is engaged. So track down what is causing your locker to engage, start right at the differential and check all the connections there. Also just make sure you're not accidentally hitting the switch on the dash somehow

when I push the switch on the dash the light blinks but right now it stays lit
do you think it could be caused by a crushed/broken wire?

Do you drive any distance after pushing the button? You have to drive a little bit to get it to engage/disengage. try little S-turns, they work fast for me to get it locked/unlocked.
