November 1st I purchased a Vanagon Syncro and love it. My question is
with the differential lock. In its normal unlocked position the "switch"
is pulled out. When pushed in the differential lock is engaged, (this is
obvious due to the feel of the vehicle when driven and the green light
which comes on). My questions are: Is the switch supposed to be engaged
when pulled out?, thus making my switch work in reverse. This seems
logical to me so as to not engaging switch by mistake-I also drive
around my nieces and have a young son myself, which makes me worried
they may engage it. Also there are 3 green lights but only one (the
rear) comes on. Are the other two for syncros with other options such
as: Front differential lock or disengaging rear wheels? It has the
recesses in the dash for two other switches but only the one switch
exists. Any answers to clear up this mystery to me would be appreciated.
By the way this site is a fabulous resource to which I log onto daily.
Thanks in advance.
