Hi all,
New to ARB lockers, when I bought the car it has twin lockers, havent used them much as yet, I've noticed the front switch engaged light does not come on and their is no air pressure when flicking the switch, the rear works fine, i am pretty damn sure their is a locker in their as I used it on a decent hill when I first bought,
Any ideas where to look, The air line is good all the way through,
Cheers Troy

did u put the rear locker in first then try the front?
The standard ARB loom is wired in such a way that the front works once the rear in engaged.

Sounds like a connection problem from behind the front switch to power, compressor etc.

Must have been having a brain lapse!!
I went back out and checked it again, knowing the rear had to be in first, it's all good once rear is in front engages,
Thanks Guys

You can modify the switch wiring to enable the front to work dependently of the rear. I have found this very useful in some tricky situations.
It is only 1 wire that needs to be added and it can be done by someone who is proficient in the use of crimp terminals..
I can supply a simple diagram if needed.

Its also good to set it up like that because if you get an air leak in the rear, you can still use the front.
Its just a matter of dissconecting one wire and re-joining it elsewhere in the loom.
