After long,hard day off road I did the normal shift out of D-lock low and back to normal high range(diff lock light stayed on) so I backed up a ways and took off figuring it would go out.Drove for a while(light still on) and pulled over(shifted in and out multi times and backed up until my neck hurt) still won't go out.Drives and steers like normal high and shfted right in high.Had to drive it couple hundred miles with it like this.Any more tricks to try getting light out and anything to worry about?(until I get it fixed).

My truck does that all the time. I just wiggle the diff lock shifter, in the unlock position, and it eventually it goes off. You're not locked right? just the light stays on?

Good luck

Thanks,I don't think locked(shifted right back in high-down and right).Drove it 70 mph all way home.Ran great.Just went out and washed all mud off of it(up and under) in hopes that would free up something.Going to take it in to shop this week anyway and have them install extended ss brake lines so will have them take a look at the (CDL light sensor or switch).
