Diff lock light on, horrible grinding noise
I've got a '97 Disco 1 and I need to move it without a front driveshaft (bad front differential). I was able to get it into diff lock and move it a ways but then it seemed like it dropped out of lock (even though the light was on). At this point it started a winding up grinding noise. It's not in a good spot right now and I still need to move it a few blocks. Any suggestions?

Mine will turn the light on once engaged but won't turn the light off when disengaged until I've moved a little...though it will also make a steady chime when not engaged in one or the other.
Make SURE you are fully locked, try high and low. It might be a bit of a struggle if you don't use it but every blue moon.

This truck is new to me, just got it last weekend so I'm not sure if anyone has really used the CDL. I was able to get it to go for a bit but now it seems like it will shift from high to neutral but not reliably into low and never into lock. Even when the light comes on the truck doesn't move at all so I'm sure it's not actually locked. Here's the thing, it's stuck in a parking lot at the local university where I work so all of my tools are far, far away!
Anyone got any tricks for loosening a frozen CDL that don't involve ripping the console apart?
