Maybe Check Your Rear E Locker Actuator Vent (1 Viewer)

[FJnotCJ]

I was under the impression that the rear e-locker vented to the left quarter area by the jack via the wireing harness . I found this on The Wife's 96 LX450...the vent terminating in the left wheel well. Perfect shot for the pressure washer...There is no sign that the harness was altered, maybe this harness got the end of a roll of tube or something. Anyway, that explains why the PO rebuilt the actuator at least once, I did it twice, before it died an ugly and expensive death.

Soooo, if you don't see a little black vent tube in your left quarter, maybe check and see where your actuator does vent.

That's where they vent stock, some vacuum line moves it where ever you like. The jack compartment works well.

Aaahhhh...stock location? Maybe that's why the rear has a habit of failing...I searched and found this thread showing a breather in the rear quarter, maybe it was a mod. Anyway, that's where my breather is now!

mine was in the rear quarter from the factory, I have rebuilt the rear actuator but it did not need it clean as can be inside.

Are you sure, on my '96 LX it was in the same place pictured above?

Aren't those tubes in the rear quarters for the sprayer if you had ambulance doors? And yes, I am talking about the clear tubes that don't connect to anything.

I'm pretty sure that's what those are, its been discussed here before.

See pics in that thread, I'm under the impression those are the tubes you all are talking about.

This probably explains why I couldn't find the vent by my jack. I could see it start at the actuator, but then it disappeared near the wheel well like you show in your picture. I'll have to check and see if mine is there as well. Was your sticking out like that in the picture, or did you pry it out some?

I thought I was, went out to take a pic and it was not there I have it routed there now.

It was not sticking out like pictured above it was taped into the harness,

I have picture will get them posted up tomorrow.

II have see pics here that show both the ambulance door sprayer lines and vent tubes in the same area.

Noticed it pretty much as pictured, and it clicked right away how all the rust had formed in the actuator
