Hi there.

Does anyone know if there are any dash warning lights that come on or perhaps should come on when either the diff lock or cross locks are put in use.

Daf 75 310 54 plate Tipper. Weve not had this one in the mud yet to see if they work on site but tried messing about in the yard and it seems that there are no warning dash lights that come on when in lock so we dont know wether were in or not?

Dont really want to wait untill stuck in the mud to find out if the locks actually work ,driving around a dry yard is hard to tell.

Anyone know please, would be gratefull before we get the fitter out!

Thanks

the 05 daf 95 unit i’m currently driving shows the diff lock symbol on the speedo when engaged so i guess yours should do the same?

Check the handbook if you’ve got one.

Surely if the diff is locked then the only place you’ll be going is forwards, as the drive wheels can only rotate at the same speed and prevent you from turning?
