Default Need help with Electronic Disconnect install

I looked through the write-up section and didn't find anything for installing the rubicon electronic disconnect. I purchased one for my saharra with all the switches and wiring harness and will be installing it shortly but wanted a game plan before I start. Let me know if you have any information on this. Unlike Clackey, I don't like to just "crawl under the jeep and figure it out as we go along." But that might be what we have to do.

I installed this on my X, its a straight up, unbolt, rebolt your new disco. 4 bolts for the sway bar, and two bolts on the links.


Did you get instructions with the harness? I took pictures for a write up, but have yet to do one yet. If you need them. I'll get the online tonight.


The wiring is simple, but the mopar directions, make it confusing...when its really not.,

two on the clamp, each side. One on the sway bar link,. No need to disconnect it from axle.

I figured the the install of the actual sway bar wouldn't be to difficult. I would love to see the wiring and switch install write up because it came with nothing. Thanks for the help with this. I'm excited to not have to crawl under the jeep anymore and take off my "quick" disconnect with a crow bar. It's going to be great just to push a button.

Huh. I guess you're doing this one by yourself?

What I meant to say was "I'm just not as skilled as Clackey so I need instructions." Ya, that's what I meant to say. Hey, aren't you suppose to be coming over?
