The lockers will only work in 4lo. The swaybar disconnect will work in 4 hi or 4lo.

One more ? If the swaybar light is flashing that means that it still has not disconnected right. When I have the jeep on an in 4 hi or 4 lo and push the disco button the light just flashes and never goes solid. Am I I missing something sorry I'm new to disos but not jeeps. Thank

correct if its still flashing its not disco'd. i think the lockers and the sway bar disco will only work in 4wlo going below 18mph. ive only disco'd once just to make sure it worked.

The flashing light indicates the disco doesn't agree with what has been requested.
If you request disconnect, it will flash until it disconnects.
When the sway bar is under load from being on uneven ground, it will not disconnect until the load is relieved.

If you request reconnect, it will flash until it reconnects.
When the sway bar is disconnected and displaced from being on uneven ground, it will not reconnect until the internal splines line up.

The sway bar will disconnect in 4lo and 4hi, but will attempt to reconnect over 18mph. It will attempt to disconnect again once the speed is reduced to below 14 mph.
