So, on the european Diesel Models the Locker Relais are located on the firewall right at the coolant reservoir!!!!!! I got the same coloring, and it works as discribed.

But, when i engage the lockers, there is no dash light coming on!!!????
shoulden´t it be blinking or something????

I can hear the Lockers click in, when i hit the switch,......

Is there any way to use the factory switch on the rubicons to lock the axiles in 4Hi? I don't want extra switches.

I believe some of the programmers will allow 4hi locker activation.

As others have pointed out, some of the after-market programmers supposedly can reprogram to allow use in 4HI.
To me, it's a cost issue. What else do you want to reprogram? Programmers are not cheap! If you are looking at needed additional things to be reprogramed, then the cost of a programmer may be worthwhile.
My two switches cost me $9.95 each plus some wiring and installation time. Pretty inexpensive mod considering the cost of the after-market programmers.
