Before I rip into this thing, was lubing 4H and 4L with locker. Usually not a problem. Goes in and out easily. Straight away, but on pavement so no wheel slip. I know it's not good practice etc. I've tried backing it out both in the street and on the lawn. Can't get to dirt. It's dragging the rear tires in slow s turns. Front comes in and out of 4H and 4L but rear stays locked. I hear the actuator and it does sound like the gear is moving not straining. The dash light blinks and never goes solid. I pulled the 2 wire connector and the dash light continues to blink and the actuator still sounds the same. Pulled the 5 wire connector and no power to the actuator and the dash light blinks rapidly with the crawl light as well. Connections and wires are in great shape. Plug everything back in and the same happens. With the rear tires off the ground I can rotate them and they go in the same direction, in N and 2wd. I tried driving it about 75/100 yards in 2wd to disengage the locker. Suggestions before I pull the actuator and manually disengage the locker, I hope. I assume if I take that step I can put the actuator back on provided it/O-rings look okay so that I can drive it. I know I should have it in neutral/4Lo and aligned for disengaged to set the timing with the fork. Other suggestions or things I missed. First time with this issue on any gen and have only found info for mostly 3rd gens on the forum. Thanks in advance.
