Let's first make sure we are engaging them properly.

You have to engage the rear locker first then the front. The front will not engage without the rear engaged.

If you tried that then we definitely have an issue.

I can lock the front without locking the rear . I also can lock the rear without the front locked. But not both at the same time

Also don't forget you have to be in 4 Low if they are factory lockers. The fronts will not engage until you have engaged the rear. More info and a pic of your controls would be helpful. Confused?
