e-locker factory safety disable
hello, i just finished the e-locker mod found in the tech write up zone done by Hoss? anyway i have a 97 ltd 4wd with the locker (duh). anyay i grounded out the blue/red wire like it said and all was well. then i started the truck and the 4wheel drive light was on and 4wd was engaged. i coulldnt get out of 4wd and when i tried to enable the locker, the locker light just flashed indicating that it couldnt be engaged. i ended up just reconnecting the wires back to normal and it works fine now. has anyone had problems with this mod before? or am i just missing something obvious? thanks

this may help
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...range+e-locker **edit** heres a much better link: http://www.offroaders.com/info/tech-...oma_locker.htm you must've grounded the wrong wire. **2nd edit** heres phongs write up, but it contradicts the other one...so i have no idea which is the correct wire. BUT, they both say the #8 wire, so whatever color, im guessing the #8 one is the correct one. |
I followed the write up by Hoss also and didn't have any problems... Try just engaging the e-locker first without putting it in 4WD-- it is suppose to work in this mode also--there is a little trick to it to get it engaged-- first you have to be driving under 5 mph you may know this already... just a slow roll and then turn your front wheels either left or right a bit and you should hear the locker engage... I had the same problem at first where the locker light just kept flashing and not engaging...as soon as I turned the wheels it locked instantly and RR light remained on-- then try it again with 4WD engage...
Let me know how it works out for you... :P |
well i read the other write up and i am sure that i used the correct wire, but i figured maybe the bolt i used wasnt a ground so i used the exact one that offroaders link used and still the same problem. it automatically goes into 4wd and i cannot get out of it, and the locker just flashes.

o oops, i forgot to post the other link i found
sorry, here: http://www.yankeetoys.org/phong/e-locker.html#safeties |
Did you ground the correct end of the wire that you cut?
|
I did the same thing when I did the mod; I think you might have grounded the wrong end.
|
That was the first thing which came to my mind, make sure you ground the wire going to the locker control box at the drivers side wheelwell.
