I was reading this aloud and my wife asked if I wrote this. I logged on to research the exact same problem which happened last night. It is on the same side and I have the same manual Warn lockers. I have had the lockers on for the past 2 or 3 years with no problems. I live in the Chicagoland area and just got buried with snow this week and could realy use the 4X4 again. I will check what Axeman said since he is the most knowledgable person here. I just have to wait until the temp gets above -5 (w/o wind chill)

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
