Hello to all!!

I just got my 2014 Raptor (11k Miles) last week and have been just amazed at how much fun it is to drive. I have taken it atop the levy to the Everglades along Hwy 41 towards Naples and Loop Road which are all very easy. They do not even require 4WD but are really fun anyway.

I have a question for the group. My locking differential light keeps coming on when I start up the truck. I know it is on because of the tire sound when I go around a corner. I have tried to turn it off in a variety of ways but they don't seem to work. I pulled out the dial to lock it and then pushed it back in. Then I held it in for about 30 seconds. Every time I hold it in with some pressure, the light goes off but when I take my finger off the dial the light comes back on. After pushing it and holding it several times, the light eventually stays off. I am not sure why it is doing this and the manual has no good or detailed explanation of how to turn off the locking differential. Does anyone have an answer to this question?

Best to all,

Michael Cannon

Take it to the dealer, sounds like the switch is bad. Should pull out to engage (switch should lock in the pulled out position) and push in to disengage (switch should again lock in the pushed in position. This should be fixed under your bumper to bumper warranty.

Welcome and congrats on the truck. I agree with TJ you should definitely take it into the dealership, especially if you just bought it and have so little miles. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Welcome to the mayhem!!! What they said^^^. Get that thing back to the dealer ASAP. That way they can't blame you for tearing something up....

Good luck!!!

Welcome to the forum, mcomcorp! Like the others have mentioned, I'd get this into the hands of your local Ford Dealership. Come back and tell us how your appointment goes; I'll be here to help once you've received a diagnosis.

Hello! As mentioned before, the switch is probably bad. I'd pull the fuse to get it unlocked and take it to the dealer.
