I did a search and did not see this same question so here I ask. Last week was my first time wheeling my 2008 4 door rubicon and when I tried to use my front locker The light that indicated that locker is engaged just kept blinking and never engaged any time I tried to use it. The rear worked great every time and engaged and disengaged quickly like it should. All the electric conectors are tight and I engaged the lockers on a flat serface before I hit my obstical that they would be needed on. So can you help me in the right direction of the things I need to look into to solve my problem or maybe a thread that you know of that may help? Im new to the forum things so if i can get any advice on searching topics that would be great also. When I search do I be very discriptive on my search discription or kinda not? I searched "08 rubicon locker not working?" Thanks so much in advance for any help. And Ill answer your questions best to my ability being Im new with this.

 

Just want to check the obvious? You were in 4 lo right? They do not engage except in lo?

 

Yes I most definatly was in 4L. The rear worked great but the front just blinked until i turned it off. My Friend who is very big into wheeling jeeps (TJ Rubicon) was there to help try to figure out the problem but did not know being i guess the TJ's are air and he is not a JK man. Yet

 

With the front try moving slowly and after you press the button turn the wheel gently from side to side. That will sometimes help them engage. Also remember that the first times can take quite awhile to lock. Think mine was around 30 sec but now is almost instant.

 

I will do this as soon as I get home! If I am not getting power to the locker where do I check from there? Dont know if that is a stupid question or not?

 

yes I did turn the wheel from side to side to help engage the locker but this did nothing. before I entered the trail it was needed on I turned the front and rear lockers on a good minute before the trail and kept them on though the whole trail they were needed on so the front locker was on and blinking for a good 15 minutes or more at a time. so plenty of time to lock i guess... Should I have just turned it off instead of hoping they would lock somtime during the trail?

 

X2, the first time I did it I had to creep a little bit and it locked right up!

 

Ya my buddy mentioned that so maybe that would be the way I will go once I check the wires to see if they are the problem.

 

One thing I forgot to mention is that I also are running a superchip programer! I have not messed with any of the settings at all with the lockers. If Im correct you have to have the programer plugged into your computer and turn your lockers on though the programer and not your dash. I think all it allows you to do is turn ONE locker on in 4HI. Just another piece of information that may or may not change your answers. I do have a program in it for tire size and gas milage but thats it.
