Rob,

Crawl under the van and check that both little vacuum hoses are well
connected on the differential lock servo.  The servo is right next to the
gear linkage on the front of the trany on the left side.

The vacuum hoses are made of rubber and they sometimes crack and wear out or
could get ripped out if you drive through the (thick) bushes.  Chances are
you are may not be engaging the differential lock either, and this may be
the remedy.

If this doesn't do it, I don't know either and will learn from the listees.

My light on the dash that comes on when I pull out the Syncro lock knob...
doesn't come on now, the def lock seems to still be working, all fuses seem
OK, in the manual it says see your service manager if this happens.... any
suggestions?
