New to the defender family.  HD5.  Called dealer and they cannot get to it until next week.  Is there a switch or relay in the fuse box that controls rear diff switch?

That seems to be standard mode for rear differential, also bought HD5 last fall and trying to find a disconnect switch but can not find any real definitive answer to can a unlock switch be add. Harness is at the blank plug but can not see an engagement solenoid installed.

If you find out different let me know!

This has probably been addressed.... But my odds would be on a FAULTY SWITCH.... That is if what I'm getting is the fact you have a switch.... but it is no longer engaging/disengaging...... BRP has been known to have GARBAGE SWITCHES!!! Usually noticed on the windows.... but others have been faulty....

Do the HD5's have the option for Turf Mode/Rear Diff (un)Lock? I didn't think they did.

Spec sheet doesn't show that as a feature on HD5s. Only 2WD/4WD with ViscoLok front. Only on HD8 and HD10s specs Turf Mode feature.
