Default Rubicon Locker wiring Pics needed

If anyone has any photos of the factoy wiring for the Rubicon front axle, I would appreciate it. I will be installing one in mine next week and have already run the switch and relay, but I want to get an idea of what type of plug is used on the housing and exactly where it is. I have looked through the galleries and can't find one. Thanks in advance.

what wiring are you talking about, the wiring for the factory relays, or the wires going to the actual axel.

I have pictures of the relays, wires etc..i am trying to do a hole locker mod write up but cant post pics....i tried to do it, but i cant figure it out, i can send them to you if you need them, just PM me

I'm looking for the connection at the axle. I already have the switch, relay, and wiring done. I just want to get more of a head start and complete the connection for the housing. I'll send you a PM. Thanks. If anyone else has a picture of this, I would appreciate that too.

you connect to the locker control wire at the locker relay, under the hood, not at the axle itself.

I am installing the Rubicon front axle in an X. THe X does not have any wiring or relays already installed. I have run switched power to a relay I unstalled under the hood in the same location as the factory Rubicon relays and need to identify the type of connection used at the axle housing for the electric locker. Are you saying the there is just a wire coming out of the differential housing of the Rubicon, and not a plug? Please explain. Thanks.

If line drawings will work instead of the photos you requested, here is the one from the service manual:



The top connector is the coil actuator that actually engages the locker, the bottom connector is the switch that detects if it's really engaged.

You're right. I didn't get much sleep last night. That helps a lot. I didn't know there were 2 connections. I will just be the one signaling the actuator. It would still help me if I could tell exactly what type of connector is used ans how it enters the axle housing. I guess I could be patient and wait until it shows up, but I would like to have the wiring completely finished and put it in the day it gets here. Thanks again.
