...Sometimes, after I unlock, the light is still dimly lite (unlocked) and other times (unlocked) their is no dim light which is what I expect. Their isn't anything I should be concerned about is there. I have had no problems up to now and have used it quite a bit. Thanks

Mine only does it when it is raining. Just barely lights up. I think it is moisture getting in the connectors on the diff. Doesn't take a lot of current to light the LED. I put some dielectric grease on the connectors. Funny thing was that the dielectric grease itself made it do the same thing for a few days (no rain), then it went away. But the grease didn't seem to help. Maybe I didn't put enough in.

The weird thing is that there have been times where it started raining at night and I have come out in the morning and it is dimly lit, and the axle isn't wet because I haven't driven it yet. Maybe there is water condensation in the diff that is fouling the switch??? I've changed my diff oil though and don't see a lot of water here in So. Cal.

Anyway, you may want to check to see if those connectors are staying dry inside. If you are using an LED, I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe using a higher-valued resistor would help? Now, if it is a regular lamp that is lighting up, that is a different story.

I'm curious to hear more details on how yours acts, such as if it seems related to moisture or not.
