Default troubleshooting rear locker..Rubicon

So since i never have time to wheel its not a priority for the locker to work,

but i was messing around in the snow a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the rear locker light kept blinking bu never went to solid, i tried it a couple of days ago and it does the same thing

can anyone give me some troubleshooting pointers, i can try without removing the diff cover.

if it helps the front lights up solid and doesnt blink

Almost everytime we go out and wheel we end up at least activating the rear locker because it is needed and some times the front and have yet to have a single problem with it.

I know I have read on here about people having the same problem after a regear. I think the locker sensor was not installed properly or damaged during the regear. I know there was a long thread about this, I'll see if I can find it. Of course there have also been several people who have had this problem and it ended up being a bad locker that was covered by warranty.
