e-locker failure

[Wisha Haddan H3]

Thanks F5. I tried that and it seemed to work ... at least the light stayed solid this time

I didn't have a chance to really test it tho, so I don't know if it's actually locking the axle. I'll have service check it out this weekend when I use my free oil change.

Easy to test, hang one of the wheels off the side of a cliff and see if it turns at the same speed as the other wheel.

I would guess that if the light stays on, it is engaged. The TCCM should turn off the light if not engaged, and flash if it can't engage, then turn it off.

Or find a neighbour's new lawn and drive in a tight circle.

Wisha,
If you recall I had the same problem on the Rubcon. Well, BABHUMV took the center panel out and plugged the switch back in, and it worked fine, but the button was still sticky.

The dealer replaced the entire switch panel and now it works great.

Apparently the module behind the switch was bad.

Wonder if I got a bad module too. Thanks bebe, I'll bring it up when I call service

Good posibility, in addition, if the center trim panel is ever removed, make sure the connector's lock (blue sliding plastic thingy) is pushed in after the connector is FULLY seated into the module. Not seated, it can cause intermittent problems since it may wiggle a bit.
