Rear Diff Engaged on its own and will not unlock

[HackedJL]

Hey guys so a bit of an issue. I had the Jeep parked a few weeks (3500 miles on odo) and finally had a chance to take it out today. On the way to the trail the rear locker engaged and stayed engaged

I cannot get it to unlock at all. I even kept going to the trail and hoped it work itself out but after the trail still no luck. It's confirmed locked up

I have a Tazer Mini but I tried unmarrying it and going to stock as I thought that was the issue but nope. All cables are in tact as well. Any ideas? I'm gonna go grab a pizza before I torch the jeep

What have you tried?

Flat surface on pavement and put it in reverse?

My Rubi wouldn't always unlock until you rolled backwards a hair. But that was Gen1..

Disco the plug?

Switched between 4hi, 4lo and 2wd

Reverse and going forward. Tried reversing up a steep bank to hopefully let it slip open.

Locked front and rear, unlocked front and rear (except rear stuck of course)

I just drove another 10 miles and no luck. Womp.

If the plug is unplugged and it's already engaged, will it disengage?

Sounds like you've tried everything.

Yeah was hoping that thread would shed some light but I had no luck after unmarrying and rebooting system to stock.

I'm thinking the ring is stuck, I will try to open up fill plug and see if I can move it over with a screwdriver. I don't have oil and all the shops are closed nearby so taking off cover would suck.

Ended up working once I remarried the Tazer & power cycled a few times.

I'm figuring it's a problem there and not mechanically
