Default locker problems

I have had problems with my rear locker since new. They replaced the old one with a brand new unit and I got it back and it is doing the same thing. Is anyone else having this problem?

I can confidently say my rear locker has never done that.

sorry, the problem is after a day of wheeling it won't turn off. Even after I put it in 2wd it stays on. Makes for a chirping ride home.

Still my answer to your original question.
Anyway, since they replaced your locker, and it still does it, perhaps the controller is still sending power to it. Has anyone checked for power at the diff connector?
That would have been my first test.

when I took it in they said that the locker had a problem in it so they replaced the whole locker. I don't know if they tested it at the diff connector. When I take it back in I will get them to check it. Thanks for the idea.

Has no one else had this problem.

I'm having locker problems too. I don't have a switch for my locker and I can't seem to get it to engage.
