We were at San Hollow for UBB last week and we had a blast. Ran West Rin the first day, it was a bit more technical than I expected, not super difficult but some obstacles were in very tight spaces.
Day 2 we ran Plan B, holy crap there was some big shit to climb, at least for my experience. In the past I had not found an obstacle that I couldn’t manage. This day was a different story. I don’t know if this climb had a name but it was pretty big and steep, perhaps I waited to long to turn on my front locker, I was a little bout up when I pressed the switch, I received error message via the dash screen, I can’t remember exactly what it said but some thing like not available and service something or another. So no front locker for this climb. I made sever attempt but was not successful, so out came the winch. After I reached the top I turned off all 4wd and steering options shut the bronco down for a few minutes, restart and everything appears to be fine. Made it up several more climbs just fine seemed as though the locker was working again but a couple times it would not turn on the switch just blinked it was not engaging, but no messages or codes. Another step one comes, and I can’t get up, they say no locker, I don’t recall if there was a message or not on the screen but I had to bypass this time. So next I turned off all the systems, disconnected the battery, restarted seemed fine but the spotter mention it didn’t look engaged to him but I had no more problems for the rest of the trail.
So all that to ask, how the heck do I test to see if the locker is working without trail testing, All I can think of is putting it up on stand to see if the tires rotate together.
I’ll probably be taking it to the dealer, because warranty, but if the screen and the switches are all working as they currently are. I’d assume they would not do much else beside tell me it is fine.
Or would they be able to do a scan to see if it is a computer issue or something else?
Help a brother out, what would you do?
