My rear locker is...broken. I'm not sure what the issue is. The lock ring looks like it engages how it's supposed to, the plunger pin looks right, but it just doesn't lock. No metal in the fluid either. There are no obvious signs of damage anywhere. Being that the JK is out of warranty and the stock locker is ridiculously expensive (and not rebuildable, so I hear), I am in need of a selectable aftermarket rear locker. For various reasons that best suit my needs, I have decided (mostly) on the 35 spline OX locker and 35 spline shafts.
Now, here are my questions:
1. Does the front locker need "confirmation" the rear locker button has been pressed in order to actuate? Because I plan to use the cable system in the OX, obviously my front end won't "know" if the rear is locked.
2. If I disconnect the rear electric locker, what do I do with the wire? Will simply disconnecting it the plug at the axle be enough, or will that cause issues?
Has anyone done this? Or maybe has input on the repair of my stock locker?
