E locker swap to 97 tacoma questions

So im finally getting around to swapping out my old e locker axle to on current my truck. Been sitting for 2 years in my shed..

Q #1: where can I find a wiring kit that bypasses from having to put a new ecu in my truck? does anyone make a wiring kit? or is it easy to make one? The e locker has the facrory wiring harness that connected to the part where the portioning valve is for the rear brakes all rest that went all the way to the cab i did take out.

Q #2: Is there a easy way to manually engage and disengage the locker?

Thanks

 

I think it's just a spdt switch ...on off power and ground

 

yeah but how would i wire it? its got like three different wiring clips on the 3rd member?? or do those only need to be used when using the ecu for the cluster lights? idk wish i had step by step instructions on how to wire the bitch lol

 

Check out the Chilkat elocker conversion kits. Replaces the electric motor with a mechanical system.

edit: A lobster beat me to it.

 

454 dollars... god damn lol
looks like lowrange off road has one too for wiring but the 12v guy is cheaper but i hate how his switch panel looks lol. low range offroad has a nice switch on it which would fit right in my 6 switch panel i got under my stereo

 

a write up of some who did it them selves would be awesome

 

PM @IDtrucks He did it on he '97.

 

i pmed him. really looking on how to wire it myself. im just horrible at reading something and j=not understanding cause im a visual learner. i need pictures lol

 

hoping someone will chime in that has a wiring write up.

 

also i cant read schematics shit is so confusing haha

 

LCE performance makes a manual actuator it looks reeeeaaallllly nice I can't remember price though

 

Inside the dashed line are factory colors.
Make sure to seal all the seams on the actuator. It's also a good idea to pull it apart and clean/lube the moving parts.
Well sealed they are very reliable.





Procedure for actuator R&R. Pay attention to pinion/rack gear indexing and preload.

 

Here are pics. I'm horrible at reading the diagram... I'm sure if I was explained the diagram better I would get it.

Here are the pics of the axle and connections.

 

ok so what im figuring out is that the switch is hooked up for a lock position and when the diff locks you put the switch to "None" and then when disengaging the dif you flip the switch opposite of what you had to engage. also the only plugs off the diff im using are the 5 pin connector and the 2 pin (2 pin is black and white)

 

Thank you guys so much for the help i figured it all out lots of scratching the head but i got it. i will give a update a pictures and will be writing a write up on how i did it!

 

If you want a clean install use the factory switch. The link below is my writeup/ramblings.

so i got a problem. i got it to lock... but now it just shorts out and blows fuses. So i went and took off the ground leads (white/Black) with them off i put the fuse on. now when i touch the ground it shorts. but the other ground when i touch it doesnt short. im super confused and pissed off... i wish i knew someone who can come look at it.... i really think it has something to do with the switch.
