I was just messing around on my tacoma and took it for a drive. I pushed the RR Lock button and drove about 5 feet.. Stopped. Then hit the button to turn it off and it just stayed on. The lights were staying on and everything.. it just wouldnt get out of lock mode... then I drove a couple more feet and heard a loud CLICK and it shut off... I drove for like 1/4 mile in normal mode and everything was all fine. I stopped and hit the RR lock button again.. drove a few feet.. then went to turn it off and the same thing happened again.. NOTHING.. Had to drive a few feet and wait for the CLICK for it to shut off........

Whats up with it??

 

Thats just how the rear diff lock works.

 

Any other time I hit the button.. I'd just hit it again and it turned right off.. the manual even says just hit the button.. doesn't say you have to drive forward first...

 

That sounds pretty normal. The locker cannot engage or disengage if there is a torque difference between the two half shafts. Sometimes it take a few feet or even backing up to get things to equalize enough to engage or disengage.

Don't sweat it

 

beliiieve me.. I was sweating it a lot

 

No worries Nothing is amiss

 

I'll say that I would trust Rob on this one. Plus that has happened to me a few timew with my locker.
