Sorry Tom,
I am sure you will get some better advice from the real mechanical gurus, but from one EE to another, here goes.
I am guessing the diff locked light is actuated in some way by the actual position of the pin doing the locking. It other words, I would tend to believe the light.
If that is so, you will need to unlock it somehow before those drive wheels get good traction on your beautiful concrete driveway. The torque produced in anything but a straight drive in the garage will vastly exceed the rating of the drive components. Bill's stripped spline comes to mind.
Good luck and enjoy your food and friends.
