    Default Grey Wire Mod Question

    Just completed this mod. Question.....when I press the locker switch should the notification light be constantly flashing, or did I screw up somewhere? Thanks. I have a 2002 Tacoma TRD.

    Did you try moving forward a little bit to see if it engages?

    If the light is flashing it is NOT engaged. This write up may help you see if you've done something incorrectly.

    Did you use the rear locker much prior to doing the grey wire mod? If not, the actuator can stick. R&R the actuator and inspect. The FSM also has a very good procedure listed for testing.

    Even with the GW mod, the locker will only engage at speeds under 5mph. If you get above that, it won't lock in. Also, driving in a shallow "S" pattern (gently working the steering wheel back and forth and swerving just a bit) helps to get it to lock and unlock.

    Will it still lock in 4lo?

    Thanks for all the help. I tried back and forth a few more times and it now engages in all positions!
