i have put to posts up about my diff lock but i am still avin trouble with it

i had a clutch put in a couple of months ago and since then the diff lock doesnt work???

this is head bangin as i have the low box and high box workin.

the transfer gear knob goes into the diff lock poistion and when i moved it the round pin goes in and out of that hole, so i am assuming that it is goin in to diff lock but the light isnt goin on i have fiddled with the wires but no joy it still isnt comin on ????

any ideas about where the wirin is as i can not seem to find the problem

First you need jack a wheel up and make sure difflock is working, if it is you may have a faulty switch, if it isn't you need to check the linkage is moving the selector on the box.

if u know the difflock is working it could just be the difflock indicator light, a few screws out n have the shroud and the cluster out will tell you if its that or not, saves gettin under it.
swap the bulbs about and if still no luck u can trace the copper track back on the back of the cluster with a probe, i found a break in that track before.

i have a feeling the difflock switch on the gearbox grounds to earth (i could be wrong so feel free to correct me) so 1 way to test the light is to ground the end of the wire at the transfer box end, that should cause the light to come on... if u dont wana take the instrument cluster apart.
