Default Locker switches

My company is currently developing a kit that allows the driver to activate either locker at any time. It will include a harness and two screen printed alluminated switches and the installtion kit. I feel that the stock locker switch is in an awkward place and it is hard to select the desired locker. Each locker will have its own push buttom switch with a built in red led to indicate the switch is on. I will be posting for info once we have become a sponsor.

So what are your plans, where will the switches be mounted, and can you use existing switches that you have allready installed in the after market

Default Is this what everyone is looking for?

Theory of Operation

(See section 8W-31-12, 13, 14, and 15, and 8W-80-5 of the FSM)


Since the Relays always have power applied to the D4 and D13 connection, applying a ground to D6 or D11 will cause the Rear and Front Locker Relay to energize, respectively. Once energized, voltage will be supplied to the Rear or Front Locker Pumps. They will turn on until 5 PSI of pressure is achieved, and then the pump will turn off – assuming no air leaks.

The two switches basically bypass the existing Axle Lock Switch and control the Front and Rear Locker Relays independently, as well as sending a Logic “0” to the Instrument Cluster (EMIC). The Front and Rear Locker Indicator lamps function exactly the same as originally designed: slow flashing when lockers are engaged without the axles actually being locked, and steady on when the lockers are fully locked and have sent an additional ground signal to the EMIC.



THIS MAY BE FOR AN OLDER MODEL...i'M NOT SURE. I FOUND THIS ON THE NET SOMEWHERE AND I DONT REMEMBER WHERE

what you posted said air and pumps well seeing as the JK's use electric lockers and not air lockers it's for TJ's and not JK's...
