Subject:I am having diff lock light problems - help!
From:David Marshall
Date:Sat, 12 Oct 2002 12:03:27 -0700

My 1986 Turbo Diesel Syncro Multivan has front and rear differential locks
from the factory - both work just fine.

The problem is the front differential lock light 'sneaks on' while driving.
It doesn't come on full brightness - almost 3/4 brightness at the most.
When the light is semi lit the differential lock definitely isn't on (VERY
hard to steer if that happened).  To make the light go off I have to engage
the lock and then disengage it - then the light goes out for about 5 minutes
and gradually creeps on again?

Suggestions anyone - thanks in advance!

Subject: Re: [Syncro] Removing Luggage Rack Pop Rivets

I just drilled mine out with a drill bit that is smaller than the rivet
itself.
You want to drill out the center of the rivet - not make the hole bigger.
Once you do this the rivet will fall away and the tie-down will come loose.
