Rear Diff Lock light - Setup Guide

[buzzdog Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close buzzdog]

I'm in the process of getting front and rear E Lockers fitted. I'm going to get both lockers wired up to the red difflock light. I don't need them separate as it's only there as a reminder that they are on.

Hi WSP,
Very true; let us know how the install goes as I'll be very interested in your review of the end result.
Are you having them installed so that they can be engaged at any time or are you having them installed so that they can only be engaged when 4wd selected?
If that is the case, how would you go about wiring that up? I think it wouldn't be a bad idea as apart from being in 4wd, when else in 2wd would you engage your lockers?
This would also prevent an accidental knock of the switch and engage either locker at an inappropriate moment ie when cruising along the highway?

When I installed mine I fitted a switch which isolates both the winch and elocker, just in case the switch was bumped.

That's a pretty nice setup, thanks for sharing.

Hi mine are getting wired so that they can be engaged at anytime I think that the normal way they wire them up. I've flipped the switch panel so that the switches are now on top I've never knocked the spotlight or compressor switch yet so with the dash difflock light as a warning I shouldn't have a problem.

Do those Carling style switches fit into the blanks straight up or do the holes need opening up?

No they need to be filed out a bit to make them fit
