Help and Question? Lockers
Just had 5.13's installed on my Rubicon. Testing the lockers Rear will engage in 4 low but when I try and unengage the light blinks even if I turn the Jeep of still blinks. The front will not engage at all just blinks. Also when I try and turn with the front trying to engage it feels like I have an issue with my steering. It’s hard to turn the front tires. Almost like the ESP is kicking in.

It fully engages light turns solid. Then it will unengage but the light still blinks. Looks like I am going to have to take it to the dealer.

I went through this last month on my 08' with 4.88s. I had to take it to the dealer and the final prognosis was a bad locker sensor. According to the dealer the flashing light is an indicator for a multitude of problem codes. First they replaced my entire sway bay disconnect and disco comptuer system ($1800.00). Oh well, their dime. Mine did not have any of the driving quirks, just the flashing rear locker light. The good news is that the dealer didn't say anything about the lift and 35's or gears.

As long as your lockers are not engaged while driving down the road and you don't hear any weird 'clicking' noises, I'd suspect you'll be fine. Who ever did the gears needs to flip the bill for this repair. The locker sensors/switches are about $40-something each... so it's not too bad.

Thanks for all the help. No clicking noises. Drove the Jeep around and no tire barking. My installer sucks. Already had issues on my lift install so it looks like dealer or another installer.

There should be a minimum warranty of everything done to your jeep.
Take it back to where it was installed.
Give them the opp to do so.
If they continue to fail, take your business and money elsewhere.
And thrash them everywhere you can.
