This snapped off coming out of a mudpit today.

What is this? An e-locker? This is located on the front axle.

Yes it's the connector for the front locking differential.

Maybe it's not supposed to be up around the upper control arm like that, and that's what popped it out? Not sure...I don't have a Rubicon.

So I take it once its wet, its no good anymore? Had to dry it off and pop it back in. Ziptied the plug together because it wouldn't stay put. Thanks for the 411.

That is the connection for your locker locked light. The other one is for the locker it self.

Re:

The end that goes into the diff, not cheap, and a fairly big job to replace. I ended up removing the connector, and hard wiring it, less to get tangled with the weeds and mud..which ripped mine apart also..
