Default Rubicon lockers

Is it possible to use a wiring harness like this with a S pod/ Auxbeam switch panel to control the lockers in a 2014 JKU Rubicon by removing the factory connector and replacing it with this.

Welcome to JKF.. Check on how the Elocker works.. on my 21 Mojave to engage/when engaging it COMPLETES the GROUND for the Elock.. My plan is to splice in a single switch to ground so I can LOCK in 2 high as I choose.

Lot of people will do a bypass like Jay is talking about there, but what you are proposing is as simple as it sounds. You could purchase that wiring harness and simply run it to one of the sPOD terminals. You completely bypass all the rubicon safety checks and can trigger that locker at will.

Thanks for the reply, I'm aware of the bypass that uses the switched ground from the relays. But was wanting to run it on an S pod type of system and they use switched positives. Any way of doing this besides the way I described?

Do you already have a sPOD or similar system? If so, that is literally the easiest way. If you are trying to avoid the cost of one of those systems you can achieve the same thing with simple relay in the engine bay and a switch in the cab, but the systems are really nice and convenient if you have various things to hook up.
