A diff lock, or differential lock, is a mechanism in vehicles that locks the differential gears, allowing both wheels on an axle to rotate at the same speed, which is essential for improving traction in slippery or uneven terrain. It works by preventing the differential from allowing one wheel to spin faster than the other, thereby enhancing grip and stability. Diff locks are particularly useful in off-road situations or during adverse weather conditions, effectively helping the vehicle to navigate challenging surfaces. However, they should be used judiciously, as engaging a diff lock on hard, dry surfaces can lead to drivetrain stress and potential damage.
the linkage to the diff lock pedal could be siezed/stiff that's if it even has a diff lock also the spider gears in the diff unit could be damaged causing the diff to lock up
There is no differential lock switch. If you want diff lock. You'll plug diff lock system on your car. And olsa it's not inculede switch
If the car is auto it may mean press the brake. If ir is a 4x4 it may mean put into diff lock or lock 4wd/lowboy/diff lock mode

if your referring to the Roberts diff lock its manifold Vacuum created by the engine and this works in a piston arrangement to lock the diffs
yes
No.
The diff lock is switched or stuck on, when you turn the outside wheels have to travel further than the inside ones, the diff lock stops this happening and can damage the car if used like this on tarmack, only use the diff lock if you are off road and in difficulty of losing traction.
Yes it is. You use the diff lock when you need to. I.e when your off road. Don't use it on the road though.
It is the switch on the dash that totally locks up first the rear diff, then with a second click it will lock up the front diff. The Jeep will be very difficult to steer with both lockers on,
If diff lock light is stuck on DO NOT DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD it will break. Ensure shifter is in diff lock off position and slowly drive forward and back in a straight line.
