Default New arb lockers same rubicon locker switch

Does any one know how to utilize the factory rubicon locker switch to activate after market arb lockers. Or is it impossible and know I have a useless switch on my dash? I'd like to keep the inside of my jeep complete stock locking, so even if I need to crack open the switch or something I'm ok with that

The two relays controlling the lockers are under the hood between the battery and fuse box mounted on the fender-side. If you were able to utilize their output, it should be possible. Keep in mind, they will operate just as the stock ones did due to the CANBUS controlling them. Good luck!

I want to avoid all the CANBUS control. Is there a way to just use the switch

You would have to find a pin out of the switch and rewire it completely using ground supply power and power out. Not sure if anyone has a wiring diagram of the switch panel.

IIRC, I thought the switch was made into a circuit board and not a switch we are generally accustomed to. I could very well be wrong, but I thought I saw a picture of the reverse side in a similar thread on this topic. Again, good luck!
