Gladiator axel locking in 2 wheel drive

[Keith Shelnutt]

My 2020 Rubicon Gladiator will randomly automatically lock the rear axel in 2 wheel drive. Has anyone had this problem and what did you do to fix?

More likely it's the axle lock sensor failing than it is actually engaging the locker on you.

It is actually locking the axel, I can make it unlock but what is telling it to lock in 2 Wheel drive? It has not come back on/Locked the past 2 days.

Are you basing your determination that it's actually locking on the switch light illuminating and dash indication icon, or have you jacked one wheel off the ground and been unable to rotate it to verify the locker is engaged? Do you switch light and dash icon come on steady in 2wd, or do they only flash?

The light came on solid and I could tell it was locked when I made a sharp turn on asphalt and inside tire wanted to jump/hope, It was very noticeable rear was locked, to get it to unlock I put in 4wheel drive low and locked front an back then went back to 2 wheel drive and it was normal, it happened once after that and I did same thing to unlock and has not come back now far like a week and I drive 70 miles a day easy. No other lights came on, its like I told it to and everything was normal.
