    No instrument lights, bad light switch?

    2002 Tahoe z71 rear diff question

    Hi! New to the forum and first time I own a GM at all. Just bought a 2002 Tahoe z71. I’ve read a lot on the forum already and learned a lot but not enough to avoid a thread now :) I noticed quite fast when first putting the car in 4wd that the rear diff is definitely locked. I first tried...
