I am planning to put an Eaton Elocker in my HJ61 but going over the wiring has me a little confused since I have a 24v system.
I have a 24v-12v converter that I run my radio and GMRS radio on, so I am thinking this could take the place of the battery on the wiring diagram and everything should work out correctly, just worried about how much power the Elocker will need and if all 3 items can run at the same time.
What I am confused about is on the Eaton site it says,
"ELockers are activated by a dash (or console) mounted switch; included with all new ELockers. Any suitable 12VDC (or 24VDC for military designs) switch will work. The wiring harness with a relay switch, chassis electrical system protecting diode, and fuse is included with all aftermarket performance ELocker differentials."
Can I just use a 24v switch and wire everything up to the battery just like the instructions show? I would think the relay would need to be swapped for a 24v relay as well. I want to keep this as simple and reliable and keep as many OEM components as possible.
