I am hoping someone may be able to help with a problem I have, my LC100
automatic has the central diff lock stuck on, the car is in 4WD and I have tried driving in reverse and braking, driving forward in a straight line etc. The mechanic I have taken it to has no idea either and we are 1,000 ks from
home!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mick

Hi,
Can I assume that you locked it for a reason or has it malfunctioned in some way?
You could try to roll forward on a loose surface in nutural activating and deactivating the switch (allow about 3 secs to let the electric motor lock and unlock the CD) but I would say that jacking up the vehicle and letting the "wind up" dissapear as this is usually why it will stay on.
Otherwise crawl underneath and disconnect the plug on the transfer case.
Alternatively do the "7 pin Modification" as detailed on LCool so you can use low range for towing and manouvering without it automatically locking.
