I just purchased a 2005 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited and when I push the button to
lock the wheels the rears quit flashing for full lock but the fronts
continue to flash only. I was in some sandy dirt and when cornering the
front would occasionally also stop flashing momentarily. Is this normal? Do
I have to get in a real bind to get the fronts to completely lock in or do I
have a mechanical problem? Thanks in advance!! Don

 

What does the owner's manual say?

Are you in low or high range?

I have on 05 rubi. I rarely engage the front lockers, but when I have
in deep soft sand, mine have never started blinking once they are
locked in. I believe it should only blink when engaging or disenaging.
I would take it to the dealer.
