If you run ARB lockers f/r with the ARB wiring harness, you understand that in order to engage the front locker, the rear locker has to be locked. I think this sucks. Here is the fix:
-Remove the Yellow wire from switch #2.
-Remove the red wire from switch #1 and cut off the connector.
-With an appropriate length wire, make a "T" in the red wire so that the red wire can be connected to both the #1 and #2 switches, in the center position.
-Add two new connectors, and BAM!, the switches now work independently of each other.
You can now engage only the front; only the rear; or both lockers. This would be very beneficial if you ever ripped a rear air line, or broke something inside the diff.
Okay, now thats all fine and good, but it still sucks. In order to lock the diffs, the compressor has to be in the "ON" position. I think it's silly to have only one way to activate your locking system, I.E. air compressor only, or Power tank only.... So, there needs to be a way to override the compressor if the Power Tank wants/needs to be utilized.
Here is how you do that.
- Tee in 2 wires to the Red/Yellow wire running to the center terminal of the compressor switch.
-Unplug the Yellow wire on switch #2.
-Unplug the Red wire from switch #1.
-Plug in the two new wires you Tee'ed into the compressor switch into the open terminals on switch #1 and #2.
Now, when the key is "ON", all 3 switches work independently. This means you could charge your system with a Power Tank/compressor and still be able to activate the lockers without the compressor being turned "on". This would be beneficial if you're traveling in deep water and need the lockers locked, but do not want the compressor to suck water; or if you would have some sort of wiring problem with the compressor and need to resort to Power Tank air.
