Hi All
While travelling from Mthatha today with my work bakkie a V6 Vigo the Diff Lock light kept flashing (green). When I stop and switch off it goes away but after driving a while it starts again. I did not go off road and the Diff Lock switch is in the disengaged position. I did some tight turns on loose gravel but it does not seem like the Diff Lock is engaged. Anyone experienced this before?
Thanks
Dave

How is the Vigo's locker actuated? Vacuum? Electric?
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Hy is elektries. As die liggie flits beteken dit die knoppie is gedruk maar die ewenasr slot het nog nie gesluit nie. Dit is nou as daar nie 'n fout is nie. Ek vermoed daar is iets fout met die skakelaar of hy kry 'n kortsluiting by die drade onder op die diff wat hom aanskakel.
David. I would unplug the switch from the harness to see if the light still continues coming on. If it does you must have an issue with the wiring causing a short closing the circuit which engages the difflock. Chech the conition of the plugs and the wires on the diff while you are at it.
