Default Help! Switch Pod of Rubicon for Sahara....?&*?

I have the switch pod(Switch Control Panel under Window Controls) with 2 free spaces, then 3 used spaces. 2 of them lights and the last one ESP on/off.

I will be putting elockers, on rear and front , and have noticed that the rubicons switch control has the elocker bottons. I want one of those, but dont know which one is the right one....

The mopar reseller tells me they have 8 different parts #'s with different buttons each, and he cant read buttons...

Anybody with a rubicon that can tell me what their 5 buttons are for?

Does anybody forsee any problems If i would get rubicon switch pod, and keep esp and lights as is, plus enabling the 2 elocker buttons?

The daystar switch panel is out of the question, it is plain ugly. Plus the oem is cheaper....

Thanks for your help...

From left to right, sway bar disco, axle lockers, hazards, blank, ESP. There is only one e-lockers switch to activate both, depending on the number of pushes. One, rear only, two, both front and rear.

I've seen a shot of the JK interior where the button between the hazard and ESP buttons has something there - anyone know what it is? The typical use of the buttons is like:
Code:
----------------------------------------------------
| Swaybar | Lockers  | Hazard | ?????? |    ESP    |
----------------------------------------------------
What's the extra spot for?

If I'm not mistaken (which has been known to happen, but rarely) there's a light inside it. Its a signal for passenger airbag disable. In the passenger seat, there's a sensor. If you put a little bit of weight on the seat (ie, a child) the airbag is disabled. I've noticed by putting my laptop bag and other stuff on it, its the right amount of weight and it disables the airbag.

Without going out to my jeep and looking, I believe thats where the indicator light is.

Therefore we should have
Code:
--------------------------------------------------------
| Swaybar | Lockers  | Hazard | PassAirBag |    ESP    |
--------------------------------------------------------

Over here in Australia the extra spot has the headlight alingment button. Very useful when you lift the JK.

I actually bought the entire POD from David Northridge. Just give him the VIN number and he can send you the entire POD

Also I think you can get it from Quadratec under Dana 44 Front Axle option you will find the hyperlink to switch pod and the entire wiring harness also which will include sway, lockers etc and it is MOPAR

it is the launch control for the tactical nuclear waepons array...

oh wait, wrong button.





according to this picture: http://www.quadratec.com/products/image_zoom.php?img=%2FAssets%2FImages%2F98414%2F98 414-lg.jpg

It says it is for the passenger airbag, and i dont mean your mother in law. I dont have a Rubi to confirm that though.
