I removed my rear E-locker axle and sold it to a guy that is putting it under a Jeep XJ. He wants the computer and switch and I do not know what to remove w/o making my Runner not work again. Can it be removed and still use the Truck? I think I can safely remove it but I don't know. I tied to search but got nothing. Can some one please explain to me what I need to remove? I know it is under the Drivers kick panel and that's about it.
The Runner is a 97 limited or what's left.

Thanks-

Jon

 

jon,

take a look at phong's old writeup now hosted on sonoran steel's website: http://www.sonoransteel.com/phong/re...ic_locker.html

you will see a link and pics there

Here is what he needs:


Removing it will have no affect on your 4Runner. 4Runners without the locking diff don't even have this ECU.

 

sorry to bring up a old thread in that pic is that the blue wire you need to cut to have the locker work any time instead of 4 Lo i tryed it today and all it did was blink

 

did you drive around a little bit after engaging the locker? blinking means that it is trying to engage.

 

blue wire? its called the grey wire mod. here is an excellent writeup. i did it to mine and it worked flawlessly

tacoma its the gray wire 4runners its the blue/red wire .... and yes i did drive it for a awhile just blinked and it didint work in 4lo

 

my fault, i thought all were gray. did you ground the correct side?

 

sorry to hijack this thread but i didint see the point in makin a new thread asking a simple question..... any ways in the write up it said to cut that blue wire in the pic and ground it i did and it dont do anything but blink

 

did you ground the side coming out of the switch? if youre sure you did, are you sure it has a good connection with the patch wire? what ground did you use? does it have access to bare metal with no paint blocking contact?

 

Even eaiser way to do it without cutting anything.

thats good but i didint solder mine also a fyi you need to ground the wire going to the box and not to the locker i had to ask since it wasint clear on any writeups
