Diff lock light
My diff lock light is on but is it in diff lock
I'm a bit snookered on this as I have a Ashcroft atb so I can't just lift a wheel !
And good ideas ?

Get on some loose gravel like a car park. (really loose I mean) and pull away fast in low gear. I'd have thought you could tell if only one wheel was spinning. If the fiff was locked then you should have no wheel spin or little. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Again, his ATB would stop that.

See if you can independently turn the front/ rear prop shafts (depends on much play you have).

You could remove the end of a prop shaft and see if it will turn without the other (Transfer box end).

Or (if you can) lift all 4 wheels off the ground and with it in Neutral see if you can turn the props independently.

Another option is to take the inspection cover off the side of the transfer box and see where the collar is.

Just a couple of ideas.

Doesn't the hand book say driving in reverse in a circle should sort it out.
