So, your difflock is working and the light is working, whats actually wrong?

The switch can be done from underneath, just unscrews........NOTE, any washers or nuts under the switch must be re-fitted to make sure its inserted by the correct amount, any less it wont work, to much and it can jam the diff lock.

If its the same as the 300TDI then the switch is on top of the transfer box casing. you can't see it without the use of a torch and a mirror (or a camera). You then replace it by feel....at least that's what I did...It's the bit with the red ring round it in this pic

No, it doesn't matter which round the wires are. To test the switch/wires disconnect both wires and short the connectors to together with a spare bit of wire the turn the ignition on and the difflock light should come on. If it doesn't should have a bad connection somewhere between the switch and the light. If it does then the switch is faulty. You can get a spare at Paddocks or any of the usual suppliers
