Default Rubicon wiring harnes instructions

I upgraded the axles to rubicons and got the chassie harness and the new pod button pannel. The onley thing that i did not get was the instructions on how to install the new button pannel and the chassie harness . Any body done this change yet. I would like to get this done real soon that way I can start hitting some seasonal roads and some serious trails. Old Heis Road is a road that goes inbetween 2 farm fields and then through some woods. That road is well known here in Monroe Michigan and has swallowed up trucks on 44s. It has been abuot 11 years since I have been down that road and I want to test out my JK and find out how tuff it really is .

As far as I know and have read, you cant get the lockers to work with the harness and button.

I wired my locker with a arb switch.

good question.

I ended up cutting the plugs off the harness. You need them for sure

one wire is power the other is a ground, Ground one, and run the other to a relay and switch. Same with the indicator, for a light.

theres a couple threads in the electronic forum, let me see if i can find one.

I wonder if this is like the Sway Bar Disconnect, where you have to take a trip to the dealer for a StarScan activation?

well, the say bars different, it'll work wired into the fuse box, not with this complete harness, wired alone it will.

My sway bar didnt need flashed, it worked
