If it is a CV issue, it should show up when spinning by hand. The CVs spin even in 2wd anyway, but won't be under load unless in 4wd.

 

I need more of an anti-skid mark panty liner thingy

 

And people keep asking me why I don't wanna go ARB rear. E-locker ftw.

 

My e locker took a shit on me wheeling in the snow two weekends ago

 

Figure out the issue? I've seen them go because of non use, or rust on the housing permeating to the actuator itself. But if it's used relatively regularly they seem pretty reliable. I would have loved to go the harrop route when I did my front but cash was tight.

 

I definitely prefer my Elockers. I found them to be pretty easy to rebuild also. When i bought my fj80 axles both lockers were seized up from sitting. AND if you have locking hubs you can use your ADD relays and wiring to power the front locker, super simple. I find the sound of the arb compressor annoying

 

I haven’t had a chance to mess with it yet but I’m assuming my actuator is frozen up. I can hear it working but it Won’t engage. Strange though given I use the damn thing every other weekend.

 

Potentially water got in then unfortunately.

 

That was my theory. Full of water and the water froZe or just corroded inside. It was during that freezing two weeks we had. But it worked a week or two prior...

 

It does have it's own breather. I would make sure that thing isn't clogged as well.

 

The actuator sits outside much like the ADD actuator. Spraying it externally likely wouldn't help much. It's actually pretty waterproof and sealed up well. The issue's arise when water gets in the breather, or the breather clogs. It's a pretty short breather. The other thing I have seen is the housing of the e-locker actuator rusting through.

 

I didn’t even think of that. I’ll check. Going to pull it apart anyway and clean it up since it’s easy to get to. Only annoying part from what I read is putting it back on.
