Rubicon rear locker sensor

[SilverBullet]

My axle dump exhaust melted my rear factory rubicon locker sensor. The wires melted and broke off too close to the plug to repair the wires. Found a new sensor on Amazon. Do I have to pull the whole carrier/locker assembly out to get the plunger to work/indicate properly? Any tricks if not?

Yes you’re going to have to pull the carrier- And the trick is to prop the sensor in the open position so that when you insert the carrier it catches the flange on the with the tip -

I have pondered if there could not have been some D shape design that allowed you to do it differently but I don’t know of any-

A piece of wood and a string is considered the best way to do it then you remove it once you have the carrier in place- Macaroni would work- uncooked

It would be a good idea to use a scope to look back there to make sure he catches because you will absolutely get some drama if it does not.

If there is a way to repair the wires and not get into that you would save some headache for right now.

You have to pull the carrier to get the sensor installed properly.

Watch this, it will explain how to do it:

I realize this is an old thread. Thought this picture may help someone in the future visualize how the flange on the bladder needs to be in relation to the sensor.
