Well I can confirm that the solenoid in question is for the differential lock :-) And how, you ask? I plugged it and when I took the first turn in the gravel of the campgroud there was this big pop as the axle wound up and tire slipped on the gravel. So, at least for me, plugging it is not a good solution. The switch is definitely in the normal unlocked position, and fortunately when I removed the plug the axle was no longer locked. I will just have to wait until I am back home to test and determine how this all really works. I need to determine when the solenoid is energized ( when locked I would guess ), and how the ports are switched. Again I would guess that the two air lines are connected together when the solneoid is energized, and one is open to atmospere when the solenoid is not energized. Putting in the plug must have had the result of letting the leaking air into the line that should have been exhausted. Live and lock and learn..... R
