Diff lock
I had cause to put diff lock in today as a precaution going over a saturated field
But no dash light came on so does that its not working or could it be a dodgy dash bulb Thumbs Up

The bulb should be tested every time you turn the ignition on. Does it light up then? Darren

Could be a faulty or badly adjusted switch.

Easy enough to test the CDL, jack up one front wheel and with gearbox in neutral engage CDL. If the wheel turns the CDL isn't engaged.

Mines never lit up, apart from when the diff is locked, never lit up when the ignition is turned on though.

Mine sometimes doesn't light up, but a good wiggle of the lever usually sorts it Thumbs Up
