My DAna 44 is going in on Monday. Please show your pics of the locker switches you installed and describe how you installed them... Did you use a relay or just a straight switch? Thanks

 

There's not enough current to require a relay. Just battery to 20amp fuse to 20amp switch. Then from switch to one side of the locker actuator plug -top of the housing. Other side of actuator plug to ground.
The LED above it (green switch) is wired the same except 5amp fuse and it goes to the lower actuator indicator/sensor plug on the housing.

 

Thanks Seer... how do you know the axles are locked? Is therre some transition time?

 

Sometimes it's instant on and sometimes I have to go a few feet. That's why I wired the light to the sensor plug instead of just into the switch circuit. I wanted to know for sure when it kicked in.

 

thats a sweet set up seer1

 

Thanks, 12voltguy.com does some nice work.

 

Seer... did you do a write up on setting up the switch for your lockers? Also... do you have dana 44's?

 

There has to be other X models updated to DAna 44's with locker switches installed. Would love to see some pics and insight on you wired your lockers. My front Dana 44 goes in on Monday... I need ideas for the switch and wiring.

 

If you go to eBay and do a search for item 200342377038 (front air locker cap switch) and item 200342604738 (rear air locker cap switch) you'll see two rather decent locker caps for their switches.

You will need the actual switches as there are only the caps that go on the switches!

The seller of these items also sent my the following information:
Although I haven't installed these - yet, these are probably what I'm going to do when I convert my Rubicon lockers so I can use them in 4HI.

 

those look like sweet fighter jet pilot switches.. Now you just need a couple more for the weapons of mass destruction
