Good Morning, after digging mud away I've found said switch. Unfortunately it only has an earth wire attached and I can't find another wire floating about anywhere.
I'll take the switch out now and get back to you.

So I've removed the swtch and selected diff lock using the lever selector in the cab and the raised wheel still spun freely.
I put the 13mm spanner on the spigot nut and turned it clockwise to it's furthest position and the wheel only rotates about a sixth of a turn. I'm guessing that means the diff lock has engaged?

yes , if diff lock switch is wound into far it jams diff lock mechanism ,so just wing in switch till light in dash works and diff lock still selects

I don't have a live feed to the switch!
Also the spigot doesn't turn clockwise far enough to engage the lock when using the selector lever in the cab. I can only get the diff lock to engage by using a spanner on the spigot.

While you are there check the cam that fits on to the diff lock spigot is not worn, the one on mine went sloppy and the spigot would not turn enough to engage.

From that description it also sound like the linkage is not fully activating the diff lock as it did operate correctly when you used a spanner to move it further. In which case you need to adjust the pivot point mentioned earlier by @jamesmartin
Also from memory as long as the wire connected to it goes to the main wiring loom the wire you are missing is just a short piece of wire with a ring terminal on the other end which goes through one of the bolts on the top of the transfer box to act as an earth.

remove the top and middle pin of the lever,pullout the way slacken the 13mm lock nut and wind the ye bolt pivot in or out till diff lock works both in and out fully ,you have to refit pins and try then remove and readjust etc as many times as needed

How do you adjust the pivot point?
I see there is a 13mm nut and washer that is tight up to the gear box but loosening or tightening these doesn't seem to do anything!
Thanks for your patience
