Default Block off plates for a Rubicon 44

I have a Rubicon Dana 44 housing with 4.10 gears, 30 spline axles, and knuckles. I wish to put it in my JK sport with an Eaton Elocker 4. I was wondering if anyone make plates to block off the top port that the housing has for the OEM locker. I am not paying Mopar $1900 for the stock locker. I can make something, but it would be easier to purchase if I can.

The only connection is an electrical port, isn't it? Just unplug it and leave it be, or wouldn't your Eaton E-locker need routed through this port? Are you confusing this "port" with the axle breather tube?

There are two holes. The one on the bottom right is threaded. The one on the top look like it had something bolted from the side.

The top one is for the wire to power the locker on.

The bottom threaded one is for the sensor for the dash light.

You can find a bolt to thread into the bottom one, and use the top one for wires for the Elocker. The Mopar plug kit for the top wires can even be ordered from parts suppliers. The part numbers for wiring a rubicon locker are:

Wire part number: P5155359
Diff Housing Receptacle for wire: 68003570AA

Thank you for that information. That is exactly what I was looking for.

I had an issue with my sensor being installed after the carrier and had ti remove it. A stock oil drain plug is an exact match to plug the hole.
