drive in reverse.
Your truck may be different than mine then. I have never heard of this.Thank you for all the help. Turns out that the rear diff lock turns its self off with speed. It is designed to shut off once the truck reaches 15-20 miles per hour. I learned about this from the service department manager at the dealership.
Yes. When i turn it skips.

Mine always turns off when I disengage it. I may have to drive forward or back just a little bit, but it always releases.
I removed the indicator switch from the differential what is all required to install it correctly. Ever since I took it out it seems like my e locker stays engagedIf there is still power (12 volts) going to the actuator (electromagnet), it won't disengage. Unplug the power from the differential. If that solves your problem, then you have voltage at the connector when you shouldn't. Not sure what controls that (BCM maybe?)
If you unplug the power and it is still locked, then you have an issue with the locking mechanism inside of the differential. Also, if you remove the indicator switch from the differential, you cannot replace it without taking the carrier out of the housing. Don't remove this switch.
If the mechanism is just stuck for some reason, you can probably move the actuating plate away from the differential (remove rear cover to do this). Draining is required :-(
