fix a rear locker?

Alright well couple of months ago got hit and had to replace rear axle. the new axle doesn't have a locker at all and my old one did but didn't work is it possible to fix that locker and put it in the new axle?

I know I can just buy a aftermarket but since I already have a stock one I would like to save the money if I can

 

Depends on what is wrong with it. Also, wasnt your username ONEBIGROOM before? Or am I mistaken?

 

I'm not sure what is wrong with it i know the light never blinked or anything but it would never actually engage.

and no sir I am not.

 

I would take it apart and see if you can figure what is wrong with it

And ok my bad lol

 

well I've heard they aren't able to be fixed. which is why I was asking if it is possible and if so, had anyone actually done this.

 

I honestly dont know. I would open it up and see whats wrong with it IMO. im sure someone else will chime in

 

It's probably the electric motor that's burnt out just take it apart and look online for diagrams to see how to disassemble it and what goes where

 

So your old axle got bent but it had an e-locker that wasn't working? And your new axle doesn't have a factory e-locker?

So will the e-locker even fit in the housing if you got it working. You can definitely fix the e-locker but it'll require the correct housing and then you'll have to swap 3rds.

 

This op count the number of bolts on the housing of the elocker and the non elocker if they have the same amount of bolts should be able to bolt up.i have read that it's different bolt pattern on the housing and third member so you can't put the elocker in non elocker axle

 

so only if the bolts match up I could swap the housing? and would it matter that both 3rds have different gears? But I know you can fit lockers in other non e-locker axles what would make this one different?

sorry for all the questions its all kinda confusing. thanks for all the input though
