Default Testing out the new 5.38's

I was out wheeling with my new gear and when going over a rock I noticed that the locker were not engaging. Everything is plugged up and I'm lost anyone know what it could be?

Is it stock Rubin lockers? If so.. unhook the battery for a little bit then put it back together, and see if it works then. If not. Then idk :/ I don't know much about that kind of stuff.

Sounds like there are issues with yor plunger inside the diffs. They are very sensative and even an experienced gear installer can mess these up.
I had issues with mine when I had 5.38's installed recently.
The lockers would engage, however the lights kept flashing and not turn solid.
Had faulty plungers in mine. They are about $70 a piece.

I had my installer fix them after the 500 mile wear in period.
