    WOW! I LOVE this mod! Here are a few pics of mine. A couple things to mention...
    1. As we discovered, be sure to match up the colors from the plug, not specifically the plug placement as mine was the opposite plug as described.
    2. I am a little anal about things and it made me nervous to have the ends of the connectors exposed and possibly arc against something else, so before crimping them on, I added a little heat shrink to each connector so nothing would be exposed when they are attached to the relay.

    Well it worked great and today I turn the button on and nothing happens....I hear a click behind the dash but no light and the locker doesn't engage.

    Ideas?

    I know I'm
    New to the mod, but if you hear the relay clicking that means the switch and control part of the circuit are working leaving only the line/load side of the relay, I would check to make sure none of the connections had come off the relay, I was a little concerned about this with mine, so before making the connections, I gave each connector a little squeeze... made it a little challenging getting them on the relay, but worth it knowing what a loose electrical connection does.

    My connectors were super tight to get on...I'm pretty stumped but I will look it over...absolutely hated crimping wires that small!

    Indeed! I thought for more than a few moments about soldering my connectors. Ended up using the red insulated female spades.

    If the connections on the relay all look good the next place I would check while in there is the tap into the violet wire that picks up power for the relay. I don't like the std vampire taps so I used the T style taps on mine... still don't like it, but a better option. Make sure your still getting power.

    I planned on soldering BUT it broke lol. I stripped back the violet wire and twisted the y to it then taped it up.

    If it was the violet wire the. Wouldn't I not hear the ecu click??

    The problem is, there are two components that will be clicking at this point, the ecu will click at the same exact time as the relay clicking, right? The ecu may be clicking or it may be the relay clicking... it would be hard to tell between the two. I was just suggesting checking these two things first because these are two places that have been altered and have the highest likelihood of failure... moreso than an oem fit item.

    Just a place to start.

    Mine does not blink anymore after the mod.
    When it engages the light comes on.
    When it disengaes the light goes off.


    So with the relay operating what you can hear hopefully and it's not ecu operating!
    Because when i first did this, as with all connections ive made with those 3m blue spice lines they are not the best. My relay had no power.

    You can put it into 4 Low and the locker works correctly?

    Still doesn't work in 4lo....when I used it last weekend and tried it the locker light came on immediately. If it didn't go in right away it would blink then lock on after driving forward a bit....


    Now no light no blinking and no abs light
