Ford Raptor Rear Diff Locked Enabled

[1BAD454SSv2]

I just read backing up and turn steering wheel back and forth like a snake may unlock it. In a open area preferably

You can try to shift swiftly forward and backwards without gas.
But it sounds like the spring that returns the e-locker to disengaged is broken or something is jammed.
Like 1BAD454SSv2 said, bring her in.
That's a complete disassemble and rebuild of any failed or broken parts.

Hi all! took the advantage of the roads being covered with snow and took it in! Mechanic is still diagnosing it!

Since its a 2011 it has the 34 spline axles right? If so an ARB air locker would fit as well (instead of replacing with the same electromagnet one?)

Sorry for the billion and a half questions! I appreciate all the help!

The E-locker hasn't been an issue with our trucks and I've been here a long time.
I would say you may be the first one.

Get pics of the inside of your dif from your tech, we need proof it's not a Prius front dif . Seriously, get pics of the damage, bro!

OP any updates?

My 2021 Raptor is experiencing a similar issue, but in the front. In 2H the front diff is locked. I can tell because it’s difficult to turn beyond 45 degrees or so, as there is a popping noise when both tires are attempting to rotate at the same rate. The dealership replaced all of the IWEs to resolve the issue, and it seemed to have for a couple days but it is now happening again. Has anyone else’s truck experienced these symptoms? Any ideas what the source issue could be? Suggestions? Thanks

There shouldn’t be any torque going to the front axle in 2H. The driveshaft will rotate due to clutch drag, but there is no torque being transferred. It sounds like either a transfer case issue or the front differential is binding up.
