Rubicon Locker Switcharoo

[AndyG]

Would it be possible to exchange the front and rear pig tails at the pumps so when you hit the switch the front locks first?

And- if you did, could the signal wire to the cluster dash light be directed to the appropriate locker -

Just askin’

Should be able to swap the pump and the lock sensor harness front to rear. Its going to light up the wrong locker on the dash though.

I think all you need to do is switch the air hoses.

The sensor that indicates locked is in the diffs, so I think it would indicate correctly on the dash.

Swap the hoses and see what happens.

Yes, that is why I mentioned the last part- to keep that working

Of course if you are wheeling backwards.......

Simple enough- your dead right man- Of all people I should know that

I think you will end up seeing a solid light for front and a blinking light for rear. First press of the switch is going to call for rear to activate. When the sensor does not pull in, it will blink the light.

Worth some testing to see. Simple enough to do it.

 

[JKP]

Yeah, I wondered if the PCM would blink the rear light.

Is there any way to rewire it so you can control front and rear independently?

Yes, that's what I did.

You know the answer bro! It can be done.

No, I didn't know the answer - I've never fooled with a Rubicon.

No, I didn't know the answer - I've never fooled with a Rubicon.

I thought you knew everything! Now you do know everything!

There was a conversation the other day about the front versus the rear only and steering off road -

I’ve never had only a front as an option so I just thought it would be neat to see how that goes

I had both of mine working off of one pump and I actually kind of liked it because it was just full on, click and go

I used to know two guys and they would say between them they knew everything and if you asked one of them something they didn’t know they would always say the other guy knows that ....-and wasn’t there

Dude, I just sold two good pumps on here....

I have both operable now and one on the way but I’m always in the market for some
