my dad just picked up a 93 80series with the locker option. it has ABS and does not have the "CDL" button stock
it does, however, have the CDL switch the previous owner installed. The previous owner said, "it already had the wiring there, i just plugged it in"
well, my dad cycled it in and out of CDL and awd a few times in a dirt lot.
The last time he did it, it went in, but did not come out of 4wd-hi...
he also has pulled off the switch to see if he could get the tcase to shift back into AWD mode via the low range lever.
its at ventura 4x4 being looked at, but if they don't have any ideas, what should his next step be?
he's tried the usual reverse, forward, donuts, up on jacks, etc. all while poking at the CDL switch, and is preparing himself to have to put in a new cdl actuator or solonoid (whatever you call whats on the t-case).
