Below is the electrical diagram for my ARB air lockers and York compressor.
The York circuit is working perfectly.
The relays that are powered from the OEM locker switch have power and cycle. Audible clicks when locker dial turned through RR and FR positions.
When the ARB plug is unplugged, the relays drop out, so I know power is being conveyed though the solenoids to ground. When the plug is reattached the relays click back in. Also there is 11.45V on multi meter between ARB plug sockets 1/2 and 3/4.
But the solenoids won't trigger.
When the solenoids are jumpered at the pin side directly to the battery, they fire perfectly.
This is where I'm lost, obviously they have power, but they won't fire when in the circuit.
When I pulled the sockets out of the Locker ECU plug, I used pins to attach the wires from factory wiring to the solenoids rather than cut and solder. They were slid in and shrink wrapped into position.
I'm wondering if perhaps the connection isn't good enough and I'm getting voltage, but not enough current. Thinking of pulling the shrink wrap and soldering the pins to the sockets.
I've got a similar issue with the confirmation light on the rear locker bulb. There's voltage through the wire, so obviously the bulb is good, but the dang thing won't light when it's circuit goes to ground. This is also why I think the pins to sockets connection is poor, showing voltage but not good enough pass current.
Any other thoughts? Pulling the connections and soldering them is what I'll do just answer my own concerns and rule out the possibility of crappy connections.
Guess I'm just mussing and talking my way through this, thanks for reading through and if y'all have any other thoughts, please let me know.
