Default Diff locks, problems with

So, while driving 17 to Santa Cruz, my ABS Off light comes on, and the green light indicating that my REAR diff is locked comes on, while doing 85 mph. took my foot off the gas, and it flickered and went out. it did that throughout the day, with both front and rear diffs locking, without me flipping the switch. Anybody else had this problem? I pondered it for a while, then clamped the black flex hose that would seem to supply vacuum to the switch, and that seemed to render the whole unit innoperative, solving the problem. Does anybody know what part I am looking for?
Thanks

Vacuum problem? Crack in a line or something?

Hmmm you can't turn yours off and I can't turn my on ....... ?
I was under there yesterday looking at the rear diff lock. ....
I turn to number two ( rear diff ) and nothing has happened.
Front diff works no problem. The indicator light may not be working ?
any body has an idea .....?

Ck valve located just behind the panel in the dash. Also make sure your vacuum resevoir is not leaking.
