Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just fitted a vaccum nissan locker not dis engauging does the actuator have constant vaccum on it from one of the lines?

AFAIK it should have constant vacuum while engaged and then the hose needs to vent to atmosphere to disengage.

But, they are known for being a little bit slow to disengage and sometimes take a bit of driving/turning/reversing after they've been switched off.

need vac both ways, sucked open, sucked locked. Hence the 2 solinoids.

your unlock solenoid is buggered

if you want it to unlock, keep the switch on the LOCK position and then swap the vacum lines on the solenoids, it will unlock pretty much instantly.

jessie928 is spot on: i had the same trouble and kept the switch engaged and swapped the lines and it disengages instantly. just a pain in the a$$ cos you have to get out, pop the bonnet and swap them each time you wanna use it.

i bought a replacement solenoid from pneutech in ringwood (vic) for about $170 which apprently works a treat. just need to find out how to install it now......

its a mac valve that i got, not a nissan one as they want the same price i paid for the diff, swapped hoses today open diff now, taking it out over the weekend coming so will swap them back when i get to the 4wd site,
then see mac valves next week for a better valve

two hoses on TC and one vac. two solenoids with 3 lines each 6 and 3 how do they connect... daisy chaining. they need to vent and there on my gf's rocky.

one vacum line in from the vac cans, one soliniod to engage one to vent or as in release

something definately fell off ot got sucked into a uni. i had only one vac hose yours has a tap to both solenoids. this in on a rocky TC but i also have a gq with a vacuum locker and will need to sort out a switch.

the red truck another club members one photo for info hen i put mine in the otherparts for sale long ago , and i have a MAC valve in mine which first time i plumbed up wrong as to much time between buying and fitting

Hey Coxsy,
PM me on ORE. I know these lockers inside out. have replaced solenoids and rebuilt the locking dog gears in the diff. It goes in and out like an ARB now.
