How do I lock my hubs if there's no visible dial?

So I'm a total noob when it comes to locking hubs, and I recently purchased a 09 E-350 quigley. All the locking hubs I've seen are fairly obvious, but I'm stumped on how to lock these. Anyone have any ideas? All of my hubs look like this.

They must be electronic (push button). It should be on the dash somewhere. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to cover up the front locks with a center cap, but I suppose it's possible. Do you have a shifter in the floor at all for the transfer case?

Thanks for the fast response! I do have a shifter on the floor for the transfer case. The only thing I can find on the dash is a 4x4 light underneath my headlight dial, but I can't find any buttons that look helpful.

Maybe I'll try to pop the caps off to see if there's something underneath...

Very strange. I'm no expert but someone here will know. Every Quigley I've ever seen has a floor shifter and manual hubs. It would be pretty crazy if they covered the front hub locks with a cap. Just FYI, you will most likely have to pull the wheel off and the cap comes off from the rear. Good luck!

Those caps just pull off from the outside, I have the same ones. Might as well have a look.

Quigley may have an automatic option but I'm not sure. Call them or shoot them an email, they will let you know if you give them your VIN. They've always been pretty responsive to me in the past.

I guarantee you have locking hubs under there. I had to cut my hub caps with a hole saw in order to get to my locking hubs with my new wheels and still use the hub caps.

I think that's actually a reflection of the person's legs who took the picture. I know it's hard to see with the small picture I have, but they're just real clean in that photo.

Thanks everyone for the ideas of what might be going on. I contacted Quigley and they also told me that they should be underneath the hub cap covers. I can take the cap part off with an allen wrench, but they make the allen screws out of some cheap plastic like material, so half of them are already stripped. I'll have to get a stripped screw remover bit from the hardware store before I can check further, but I'm feeling a lot better about the situation now. You guys rock.

FYI, only two of those allen bolts are real on each, the others are decorative. The real ones will be steel and not plastic.
