Eaton E-Locker to Factory Rear Locker Switch help (1 Viewer)

[jeep2cruiser]

Hi!

Wiring novice here. Looking to wire my Eaton E Locker to my factory Rear locker switch. have attached photos of what I believed to be correct but am coming up short as the locker won’t engage. First photo is of Eaton switch. Any help would be appreciated! Eaton wiring diagram attached.

The eatons just need a 12v power and a ground. I use my switch-pros since I had one already. If you know which wire is input power to that switch, you can back probe to figure out which wires get power in which switch positions, with a multimeter or even a simple test light.

This is helpful, thank you!

I have that switch. Only downside of the 80/100-series factory switch is there's no LED light to tell you they're enabled on the 200. The Eaton's don't even have a satisfying click, unlike the Toyota factory CDL relay... almost too quiet. No good answer for that from me, but if you come up with one let me know

One of these days, someone will be enterprising enough to help us figure out how to illuminate the factory console light.

Maybe for you lucky LX owners. My LC does not have such a light, sadly. I suppose I could try to repurpose the Eco light that I turned off inside Techstream, perhaps. That would also be a bit humorous...

Yeah I put a flashlight against my dash a couple years back, the Us LX Speedo does not have that rear locker light transparency, at least not the 2009.
If it did, it’s pretty simple to put an led behind it.

I was curious enough and found the same thing you did on my '09.

my 2018 land cruiser has the rear locker on the cluster

I was curious too. What's the 120kmh spot for? ~75mph speed warning?

 

[linuxgod]

Glad I don’t have a 2018 LX or I’d be tempted to pull the dash apart to wire that light up. Still tempts me to repurpose the Eco light just for kicks but ultimately not really worth the effort

Keep in mind with that factory switch but the aftermarket locker, the light is just an indicator that you turned the knob, not that the locker actually engaged…

In Saudi Arabia, for example, there is a warning chime that goes off when you go above 120 km/hr as that was the maximum speed limit on the interstates. They have relatively recently raised the speed limit to 140 in some areas but I assume the 120 warning chime is still a requirement.

Recently picked up the OEM Toyota Rear Locker dial/switch from @cruiseroutfit to pair with Eaton locker.
I am a bit of a rube with wiring/electrical so bear with me. With the Eaton locker and its supplied harness and switch installed all works well so now I am onto getting the OEM Toyota swtich set up.

Question I have is that there are three wires/ connections for the Eaton switch but only two on the Toyota.

Eaton Switch's three wires:
1) yellow/red -signal circuit that connects to the relay

2) blue- power switch that connects to the fuse panel with the tap a fuse

3) Black-ground

The wiring diagram supplied with the Toyota Locker swich doesnt mention a ground.
Is the Eaton's ground only there for the illunmiation of the swtich ?

Toyota Switch connections:
1) 12v to Rear Locker - would this be the yellow/red wiring that goes to the signal circuit -eaton supplied relay

2) 12v to Switch- would this be to the blue wiring- tap a fuse connected to my fuse panel.

The switch itself doesn't need a ground as it doesn't have a light.

Simply mount the switch, you'll run the 12V ignition circuit to the "12V to Switch" and then connect the "12V to Rear Locker" to the yellow/red which triggers the relay.

Much appreciated, thank you!
