Started with me prepping to receive some parts and finishing wiring up the OEM lockers to the ARB’s, CDL Switch and 7 pin mod.
Well in the process I removed the plug on the portion of the harness where the CDL switch goes. I was unaware it acted as a jumper cable to allow the CDL to disengage when going back to 4hi.
long story short after we went and did some mild wheeling I could not disengage the CDL. I didn’t know it at what time that the plug I tossed was required. I ended up driving home approximately 35 miles at mostly highway speeds. I avoided tight turns on our stops as best I could.
What damage may have been done and should I have just pulled the front shaft.
Was it sheer coincidence that my pass front axel seal may I have went. I’m noticing a little fluid on the birf but the axels were rebuilt during the locker and gear install last year.
