Subject:      Syncro diff light!!!!!!

Being eager to test the traction capabilities of m new syncro I drove
onto a road with about 1 foot of snow.  Things were going great until I
veered off of the road and into a deeper area where after spinning the
wheels  and rocking back and forth I managed to get high-centered.
Anyhow, after I managed to dig myself out I returned to the roadway and
the diff lock light will not go out!  I can push the knob in and out but
no go!  After about 80 miles on the freeway returning home the light
flickered and went out, but as soon as I cheered it flickered and went
back on again.
Right now it doesn't seem that there is a whole lot of wheel dragging
going on when I turn corners.  Does anyone know why this light will not
go out?  Will anything other than tire wear occur while driving with the
diff locked?  Help!!!
