Diff lock question
Hi, when I select mud/grass/snow terrain mode on my 2005 D3 SE the on screen 4X4 graphic shows a padlock symbol on the centre & rear diff, I looked at my rear diff when I changed the oil and it looked like a normal unit, does it mean I have a locking rear diff if the padlock symbol is shown ?
Thanks

There should be a wiring harness going to it and an actuator sitting on top which is shown in the attached picture.

Ah OK thanks for the quick replies
I think the two padlock symbols appear green on the display, I just assumed that as there were no padlock symbols at all in normal mode it meant diff's locked.... but red makes sense now I think about it.
I'm sure my rear diff doesn't have that box/assembly on the side of it, so it must be a standard unit, which is good as I replaced the oil with 75W/90 which is the stuff for the non-locking diff.

My D3 has the Electronic Rear difflock installed.... 100% sure
when I select mud/grass/snow terrain mode on my 2006 D3 HSE (autobox) the on screen 4X4 graphic shows a padlock symbol on the centre & rear diff in green......
In low gear /rock mode, it locks the centre diff, turning red then... but the rear diff stays green... i presume that one goes in lock automatically when needed?Best regards

@ Sidestick
I do not know why you think you are right, because i think you ain’t...
As said, i have the E-diff lock fitted... and if the D3 thinks it is not needed, the diff-locks are green...
Proving what is on my D3:
And here you can see the diff motor...
I just did the self test, to be sure, and it is working fine, if i can believe IID Best regards
