300tdi diff light stuck on

Hi,can anyone advise please.I have used low range with diff lock to tow a car out of the snow,slowly for a couple of hundred hards.I then transfered back to high range but the diff lock light has stayed on.I have tried moving the lever back & forth quite a few times.Could it be the switch stuck on or could the diff lock be stuck on in high range.I have seen on another tread to reverse for a few metres,which i will try just thought you guys might have some other answers.Many thanks

either just drive it and change gear and it'll go out or reverse and swing the wheel back & forth If that don't do it get under and wriggle the linkage.

Edit you did remember to pull the difflock lever back to the right hand side didn't you??

I'm a fool.Didn't know that!! 1st time i've used it as hardly ever drive it.

Thanks for your advice,human error on my part yet again!

Your not alone, i got caught as well with this one. Only when i reversed did i twig why it went off and remember reading it here. I had spent and hour trying to get it off and driving like a snail
