Differential locked in park Disco 2 - Land Rovers Only

dcrooksman · 08-01-2006, 05:49 PM

I have no joy! The past two weeks have culminated in the Beast stuck in the driveway with the Differential Lock warning light indicated only with the brake pedal depressed, Any ideas? We just had the front and rear prop shafts replaced due to wear. Garage indicated that they had to disengage the ABS and lock the Dif. I towed home my 5800 lb trailer to get it ready for Vacation, backed into the drive put it in park to check the trailer location....when I returned to the truck the Dif lock warning came on and the shift will not unlock from park. The ABS and TC light came on briefly but does not stay on....Did I mention it's hot and if you reef on the shifter it breaks. OK so maybe I should drink now

Any help regarding the Dif Lock would be greatly appreciated

What year is the truck, and how did the mechanic lock your diff, have you done the CDL conversion?

2000 SE7, Apparently the garage locked out the ABS and Locked the Dif Lock when they did the Prop shaft change. The issue I had was independent of that work
The truck was towed to their site this morning...Found a wire in the taillight/Tow harness that had shorted that caused the fuse for the break lights to blow....this in turn caused the lock out condition. As for the gear handle well Atlantic British will be getting the order...doesn't pay to get mad at the truck it always wins.

So, my question is, did they lock the t/case witha wrnch and it just needs to be unlocked?
