ARB locker mod?

[Ted]

I now have ARB lockers front and rear. The way the ARB wiring is that the rear must be engaged before the front will lock. Turn off the rear and the front turned off. Anybody know how to wire them so I can turn either or on and off without wiring them to separate compressors?

Take this with a grain of salt. And use caution as this is only how im reading the wiring diagram.

There is a yellow wire coming from switch 1 to the first solenoid and splits off to switch 2. This is why you have to have switch 1 on before you can activate switch 2.

In******* theory******* if you replace the yellow wire from switch 2 with 12v positive. It *****should***** act independently. You would need to make sure you dont back charge the yellow wire as it will trigger the 1st solenoid.

Again this is just what i see from the drawings it may take more then that. It might not.

After thinking about this for a while it got me wondering why ARB did this. I hate to assume that they just wanted to. There might be a reason they want the rear locked before the front.

It might be worth a E-mail to ARB to ask the question of why/if it is really necessary.

Does anyone know if E-lockers are setup the same way.
I know the rubacon is setup the same way.

That is how most air force repair manuals read (TO)

I did the separation years ago, but I don't remember who wrote it up. It helps when you do front digs if you got a twin stick.
