Good morning. I am in Moab and not having any luck with my rear locker. I know there is a ton of info out there but my access to fsm and forum is limited as cell service is random. Here's what I have so far.

CDL/abs light on - cdl good.
12V leaving locker switch confirmed
Can hear clicking in passenger compartment when activating RR
No voltage on pin 2/3 rear locker actuator
FRONT LOCKER ACTUATES

I followed the rear wire to another plug by the spare tire, no voltage there either (I am assuming the pin out is the same here but only guessing, it's the same:

OOX
OOO

Any other suggestions?
 
I'm not an expert on the electronic lockers because I am an Air locked guy. But if you want to lock it couldn't you just run a jumper wire from the battery to the connector at the axle and 'hot wire' it on?

PS it's a good idea to download the FSM to your phone or ipad / tablet in your rig so you can use it offline in situations like this.

Additionally, cruise Moab (massive land cruiser pilgrimage) will be starting TOMORROW (5/1) in Moab at 3641 S. Highway 191, Moab, UT 84532 There will be a lot of very knowledgeable people (including big-name vendors like Nitro-Gear, Slee, ARB, etc) at the campground. It is very easy to find people who can quickly help.

There are two plugs for the rear locker the one right behind the rear fender well check that, the second one is on the frame above the locker check that one to, by unplugging and plugging back in it knocks the corrosion off . Good luck and enjoy

I'm assuming you mean inside the fender well behind the access panel for the factory jack? I'll check this soon, I did have the jack out a couple days ago, I'm hoping it's that simple I knocked something.

I found the one on the driver side by the spare tire, just above the frame, and then the one that plugs into the locker itself. I've reseated these and checked for voltage

Thanks for the info. Yes it is technically possible to hotwire it if I was really in a pinch, or manually activate it with a screwdriver. I have the ability to do that.

Thanks for the info on cruisemoab! I wish I was attending but we leave town tomorrow for the white rim, then traversing the state sw for the next 2 weeks.
