The unlocked (or "off") mode of the ELSD is equivalent to an open rear.
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?Originally Posted by Matt
I'll pull the cover...

Yeah... no voltage = open diff.
Got my fingers crossed for ya!!
Not good :-(
Now I get to learn a little about pulling axles and working on diffs!
It's hard to tell by the pics.... how do the ring teeth look?
If its just the spider gears, you can get a new set and be on your way in no time!
The ring teeth looked good and hardly any wear!

You may come out of this just fine for ~$200. The spider gear set looks like PN 4883087AB. So $150 for new spider gears, $30 for new diff fluid....
$100 from randys
