does the ABS light come on after you do the grey wire mod?

i just did mine and the RR DIFF LOCK light just keeps flashing and the ABS light doesnt light up either.

i didnt use sauter i just used a sauterless wire tap and a screw eye connector to do it.


and to ground does the paint have to be sanded down to metal for it to work?

im going to go try to see if it works back in stock.

im pretty sure the paint does have to be sanded off. i didnt do that mod but i think the abs light come on

Yes, when you engage the rear locker, your abs light should come on and the RR Lock light should stay on steady. Yes if you can't find a ground around that area without paint, then you need to sand some off so the terminal makes good contact.

whats the grey wire mod and why do it?

The grey wire mod allows you to engage your rear locker, (if you have one) without being in 4lo...so you can pretty much engage it whenever you want, 4hi, 2hi, whatever..

TRDrunner

alright.

ill try that. thanks.

another note of interest, if your light is flashing, your *mod* is working. your mod is telling the locker to engage. the light is flashing because the locker can't engage. which this happens, you should try driving forward some and then backwards some and, if necessary, doing a "S" shape path. you need everything in the differential to line up properly for it to engage. that is normal behavior.

i tried all that for about 10 minutes.

still no solid light or abs light.

either sand your ground (bad grounds can do funny things) or reverse the mod and see how it acts. just temporarily connect the wire back to how it was before you cut it.

TRDrunner

i just sanded the ground to the metal and tried that.

that didnt work.

drguitarum2005

reconnect it how it was and see how it acts.

TRDrunner

does the gauge of wire have to be the same as the stock one.

TRDrunner

i just put it back stock and it works fine.

drguitarum2005

gauge needs to be the same or bigger (fatter wire), definitely not smaller wire. what side did you ground?

TRDrunner

the one from the ecu.

i got the right ground.

maybe its the sauterless connectors.

drguitarum2005

try that but it shouldnt be. a standard butt connector should work fine

OSU4Runner

Are you grounding the right side of the wire? You need to ground out the wire from the connector. Are you stripping the wire back far enough?

TRDrunner

im grounding the wire coming from the bottom of the ecu.

should i ground the other one?

drguitarum2005

you splice into the end coming FROM the white connector

TRDrunner

well that solves my problems.

hahahahah.

OSU4Runner

lol...
