My difflock does not want to engage. Can someone tell me on which wires at the difflock do I check for power. It is the imported diff with the gearlock on the propshaft side. According tome it is fully electric no air?

Hi Guys,
My difflock does not want to engage. Can someone tell me on which wires at the difflock do I check for power. It is the imported diff with the gearlock on the propshaft side. According tome it is fully electric no air?

There is also a plug near the gearbox and transfer case. Mine came loosed there once.

Re: Diff lock
Check for power on the cable at the diff (cable to earth while Ign andlock switch is on). If power is there, remove the actuator from the diff and clean it out and re-lube .... it's probably full of gunk. 
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Hi-luxhannes 
Did you get it fixed?
Mine does the same, and I still can't figure out what's what..

Re: Diff lock
Ok, so I found the problem.
I took the motor apart, and made sure that the wire retainers holds the main power supply cables properly.
I did that about 6 months ago, and it's still perfect.
Re-assembly was also with some silicone to ensure a good seal.
