I'd take that diff cover off and go from there. Given your symptoms and how it just ended, it sounds like your gears are shot. Don't drive it. If you've stripped some teeth on the pinion then A LOT is salvageable (though i'd probably replace the carrier too regardless... never know where some metal shavings ended up).
I was afraid of that. Since the previous post, I checked for voltage on the solenoid and didn't see any. That just means it should be acting as an open diff, no?

I'll pull the cover...
