Locker Problem
« on: January 18, 2009, 03:48:48 PM »
this is the 2nd time this has happened, both while i was on the trail, my situation yesterday was i had the lockers front and rear engaged, then turned off vehicle, then they disengaged and wouldn't engage again after that, would flash as if it was trying to engage but didn't, then later on when u pressed the button nothing happened, i have funny feeling its a wiring issue, they are the stock air lockers for 2003 Rubicon, any suggestions?

If you have air lockers maybe your air compressor is lossing air when you are not running the motor,  Iam not a mechanic but to me it sounds like a compressor problem.

I had a problem with my stock arb air lockers on my 03 rubicon not working.   They wouldn't engage at all  ( and no lights on the dash)  My guess was that my jeep didn't know it was in 4 low and not allowing the lockers to engage....  so i did this mod on the switch and they've been working ever since and it allows me to lock the lockers in 4 high  and even the rear locker in 2 high if i want to.

I did the one with the toggle switch wired into it too.

hope this helps

If the switch only get's pwr when it is in 4 low then just run a pwr wire straight to the switch.  from the battery,  this whay you should be able to lock the rear in 2 hi.

i had same problem with my sway bar on my power wagon. i found that if you disconnect the battery sometimes that helps or if you just drive a little and then try to connect and disconnect again helps as well or just take it to a dealer lol.

Dont trust the lights. They are not reliable. Regardless of what the light does, you need to know if the lockers are working or not.

Otherwise its just speculation.
