I learned everything by doing and and kept my first Jeep, a M38A1, on the road. Reliably.
I recently bought a 2012 Rubicon. Half a century between Jeeps leaves me with no understanding at all of pretty much anything Jeep. Besides, neck problems make it difficult to even open the hood and admire the pretty plastic cover that shields me from conducting mischief.
I recently engages the differential locks to drag a full, shed size U-Haul Pod about 20 feet to reposition it. Never touched the gas. Love that. But I digress.
I pushed the button and the rear axle disengaged but nothing I did would disengage the front.
So here I am, needing to race off to an appointment and the front axle won't behave itself, and I'm frantically mashing the button, trying variations of the gears, in and out of 4-wheel drive, backing up, turning off the engine, even unbuckling the seatbelt. All as the front end bucks and jerks. Boy, do I love power steering! I still drive thumbs-up from lessons the old Jeep taught me. But I digress.
What is the secret to turning off the front locker?
