  • ARB Air Locker Switch heating up

    Hi

    Just had a rear locker installed by ARB in WA, very happy with the installation and the product. However I have noticed that the standard ARB rocker activation switch gets very hot. It is wired such that when the headlights are on, the switch backlight is also on and when the locker is engaged, the large square light also comes on. The switch gets very hot when either of these lights (or both) are on.

    Has anyone else come across this issue? Is it really a problem or is the switch designed to function under high temperatures?

    Thanks

    Sounds normal to me. I'm on my second vehicle fitted with ARB lockers and they always get hot when the head lights are on or if the switches are on. Incandescent lights will get hot when in use. I think it would be better if ARB used LEDs in the switches but that would add to the cost.

        Same here in my 90. Although I don't know if they were wired back to front as the big light was on when the locker was off (headlights on).
        Every display of a locker at shows etc have the small light on when not engaged and the big light when engaged.

        So, mine got very hot but no issues.
        Cheers, Leon
        There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!
