e-locker mod/pic request

Does anyone have a picture of what wire I need to actually ground? I have everything set up and ready to go, just don't know which wire to ground. I know that I need to cut the blue/red wire and I know that I need to ground the side coming out of the harness....just don't know which harness. The HBOSS write-up that everyone seems to have used is no longer there so I just need to know which harness to cut the wire from and I'll be good. Thanks@

If you're talking about the mod to use the locker in 2wd then you need to cut the wire and ground the end that comes from the 4wd ecu, the small black box in the driver side kick panel. The end of the wire that goes into the wiring harness can just be taped up.

After a ton of searching las night, I was able to find the pin-out of the harness and a tiny picture to verify the correct harness. I got it done and it works except I noticed that my locker seems to engage much slower now then it used to. Is this typical of this mod, or is it because I was engaging the locker while driving on the street (under 5mph of course.)? I would have to idle forward very slow for about 20-30 feet before the RR DIFF LOCK light would go solid and I would hear it lock...

Ya my locker takes a bit to engage. I usually have to creep foward about 50ft or so until it fully engages and the light becomes solid.

My 98' is the same way... sometimes right away, sometimes takes a bit of work.
By the way, locker in 2wd is BAD ASS!!!!!

turn from side to side slowly, but big enough turns to make the diff spin a bit, it will lock very quick.
