Center diff lock button location on 40th Anniversay?

[chmura]

Where would I install a center diff lock button on a 40th LC? There seems like no room for the button? Usually I see the button installed on the top row but on the 4th there is no room?

You move your security button down to the bottom left and install in the place of that.

Some use another hazard switch.

Thank you for the suggestions. Is the harness on the security button long enough to relocate towards the bottom?

Yes that’s a picture of my dash and it is long enough.

This right here.

Or yank the janky a$$ security system out before it leaves you stranded somewhere, put the CDL button in the top left slot and save that lower spot for something useful in the future.

Not trying to go jack the thread, Why would it strand me? It works great even chirps at me!

Well, it can interrupt the starter/ignition circuit, so if (when) it gets wonky, no start for you.

Because it's a 23 year old piece of aftermarket electronics with the ability to say "no, you don't go anywhere today" when it gets flakey.
Mine got flakey once. Only once. I dug it out by the roots.

Did you replace so you still had a key fob?

 

[Rusty Marlin]

No, the rig didn't come with a fob.
The SOB would lock me out with the keys in the ignition.
Luckily it came with a spare key. I thought I screwed something up, then it did it again.
So I started an experiment to see if the conditions could be duplicated.
Never did find a set of hard and fast rules where sometimes it would lock the doors and mostly it wouldn't.
Finally said Sayonara to the little black box and all its wiring.

My 40th is also set up exactly like this one.

Thanks for this post.... Now I got another item on my "to do" list.
