Default kodiak 450 diff light blinking

New member here needing some advice . Lets just say that my kodiak has been bullet proof until the yesterday ! Riding in 8-9 inches of snow i stopped for a break . The atv was in four wheel drive without the locker in . but the light started blinking. i tried to lock it in to see if it would stay solid and lock in but it wouldn't then tried taking it out , nothing i can hear it trying to do something but light won't stop flashing . limped home and pulled the plugs off the diff servo . thought maybe moisture . nothing . has always worked great not sure what made it start doing it . any suggestion on what to try would be greatly appreciated ! sorry so long

So now it will not move into any other modes of 3wd and 2wd? Its just stuck in 4wd Diff lock?
heres a few tips. Nyroc's ATV info website I know its a 660 but I think its the same system.

Also look into this.

well just checked it by spinning the wheels by hand everything works like it should . front spin together when locked . spin opposite in 4wd on the front and i hear servos but diff light won't quit blinking.
