Electronic Locking Differential Turns off on corners

[humanprimate]

A couple times (totally randomly) the electronic locking differential turns off on when taking a corners and the truck jolts through the turn. I haven't deactivated the system at the switch and I have to pull over, turn the truck off and wait a bit for it to stop happening. What am I doing wrong?

How fast are you going? Doesn't it unlock at a certain speed?

25 mph? It probably is in the owners manual.

You shouldn't have the locker on while taking turns anyways.

This icon comes on during corners. Normally the icon is off. It happen at stop signs and when I turned into the driveway.

Unless you are wanting donuts. ?

I'm an idiot, I figured it out. Thanks for the replies. I accidently hit the button on the console which locked differential but it only activates when I slow down for the corners.

Yeah you should not have that on on the street. Only in the OffRoad is where that is to be used

If you are using the locker on conering, you should turn off the traction control and mash the accelerator. ?

Only if you want to grenade the rear axle, this is a know fact with the F series trucks with factory Elockers.

I must have been real lucky, several times. Or maybe you are just spouting opinions as fact again.

My understanding is you have to be going under 25 for it to lock but once locked it won't/can't unlock until you let off the gas. I have accidently turned it on once or twice reaching for something in that tray ahead of the shifter.

This.

Do not use your locker on the street.

Certainly not a Opinion and certainly a fact. Common sense should already tell you to not do that with a locker anyway
