Why dont you buy the cooltech switches...and run your ground wires to 2 switches on that...this way it looks stock pretty much and keeps everything nice and tight. By the way, no one has said thanks for being the pig yet..haha so im saying thanks..there are a ton of poeple on here that want this mod

well slinky 07 im sure alot of others have done this already on there stock rubis my application is quite different but the factory t case has a 4 way switch installed on the top plunger style as noted on this thread it sends a signal back to the control module so if i were to this on a stock rubi you have several options ground the relays under the hood via swtches or just install a wire to a ground point to switch from switch to wire near t case plug the yellow one w/ grn tracer this will fake your jeep into thinking it in 4 lo so you can use your lockers in 4 hi, 2hi whatever factory switch will still operate the same i would suggest putting a resistor inline now your dash will say your in 4lo when you flip the switch on. so saying this much i have not done this mod on a stock jk so dont no if you will have any dtc showing up but you shouldnt in theory

Ruskin,
Can I suggets you start a new thread for your question. Just a thought.
Also, there was talk of a plug and play solution for using the lockers in 4hi. Any more info on that? Or more detailed info about grounding the transfer case. I'm a drooling idiot when it comes to figuring out electrical, so I'm looking for detailed instructions and pictures. Thanks

Here is the wiring diagram of the locker control system:
The locker relays are located here:
Here are how the front and rear lockers are wired:
An easy way to make the lockers work would be to ground the Locker Relay Control wire going into each relay.
For the front locker you would tap into the Violet w/Dark Blue stripe wire running into the Front Locker Relay. You would then connect a wire from there to a basic accessory switch located inside the vehicle (mounting area is up to you) and then connect that switch to a ground.
For the rear locker you would tap into the Violet w/Light Green stripe wire running into the Rear locker Relay. You would then connect a wire from there to a basic accessory switch located inside the vehicle (mounting area is up to you) and then connect that switch to a ground.
Here are examples:
