Default Eaton Elocker wiring

I just installed a Dynatrac Prorock 44 in the front of my 2011 Rubicon. Before I wire the whole thing, I was wondering if anyone has tried wiring the Eaton into the stock Rubicon locker wiring. Any input greatly appreciated.

I just did that very setup 2 weeks ago. We found the hot wire on the Eaton & applied voltage through it to check operation. we then hooked the hot wire from the stock switch to it and the other to the remaining wire. The unit works as it should. The dash light will always blink as the plunger is no longer there for the light.

You should be able to tie the plunger wiring into the same circuit so it comes on with the switch rather than flash. It would then be like a lighted switch and not an indicator that the axle is locked.

Why not run a new switch? Then you can eliminate the nonsense of having to engage the rear locker before the front and not ever being able to use the front alone. Also, doesn't it only work on 4-lo?

There is no plunger on mine as I got the standard housing that can use different lockers. I think he has the same differential I have. Eaton provides an assembly wiring kit with their E - Locker.

I was referring to the wire that goes to the plunger.
