Alee891's Radiant Red Build & BS

Thank you! I'm going to inspect the connection again and compare the the chart on Pg 2.

So if the heater relay doesn't work it is safe to assume the actuator is toast? Pg 3 states "if operation is not a specified, replace actuator."

 

I agree with that same logic, as long as there is some voltage upto that relay.
If there is no power at that point, I'd start checking the diff fuse.

 

Good news: elocker is operating again.

Still not quite sure what did the fix, though. I took apart the actuator/motor assembly once again and noticed the top portion was not installed correctly after we disassembled in Moab(pegs didn't line up). I then tested it both ways (lock/unlock) on the battery - to which it worked. I put it back together, installed the new ECU and tested everything - voila. It works now. I'm a little uneasy because I'm still not certain what the issue was, unless it was in fact the ECU.

Anyway, got inside and pulled the carpet up and hit everything with seam sealer and flex seal. After looking everything over with detail, it's no surprise water was in there. I did a piss poor job sealing up the drivers side during tub.

 

Is it easy to swap Ecu? Could swap the old one to check

 

It is. May check that tonight actually!

 

Fixed the winch and got rid of the chode link:

 

You don't think the hook is now sitting even lower to drag? Seemed like clearance was the issue, not brand of apparatus.

 

Yeah the winch position looks rough for approach angle. The hook will just hit small rocks now. I bet it rarely gets touched.

 

@alee891 is there any damage on the hawse?

If there was enough contact to hook the top of the factor 55 and pull it down, seems like it could easily hit the hawse, which means instantly shedding through the rope now.

Not defending the nipple since it is huge and sticks out a lot

 

No damage that I noticed. And exactly what you asked is what kept happening with the prolink - it would get hung up on everything.

As @Gramps explained, the approach angle was greatly reduced with the pro link. The original winch hook may now be slightly lower, but that and the D-ring have the ability to move out of the way, and are also a bit recessed on the bumper thanks to @3378jakesr5 awesome bumper design. The prolink was fixated and just smashed into everything lol.

 

Went out to Cascade Creek and beep bopped around with the ol lady and dogs. Even made a picnic out of it.

Everything seems to be working as it should again

 

Damn, that red is sexy. Glad you got the locker thing sorted out and you're getting some trail time!

 

It was in fact a burnt ECU (FYI @Reh5108).
Have my fingers crossed that the additional sealing did the trick and I have no leaks!

 

I hope so too, man! That makes you, Mike, and Rob that have had issues with the tubs leaking. I'm hoping my maddening OCD helps avoid that instead of overthinking it and having a leak.

 

can't wait till I get my damn tires and swingout

 

Cbi? Pelfrey? Tars?

 

Mine is coming along

 

Pelfreybilt, SR8s and I've already got Cooper MTs just need the rims to be back in stock to mount em up

 

The rear/swingout won't be in production for a while, no?

 

this summer/fall
