    So I'm toodleing down the highway and I turn the 400w inverter on.

    About 150 miles later the elocker warning light starts flashing. Bewildered, I pull over and watch the light flash and think "Wut?" :eek::confused::confused:

    I figure out since the elocker switch is right next to the inverter switch I must have inadvertently hit both. Odd it didn't start flashing right away but I just want to confirm I don't need to worry or check for damage on the elocker since I was in 2wd the whole time.

    Figured it doesn't hurt to ask. :D

    Thanks :thumbsup:

    It's fine, the 4wd ECU will not allow the E-Locker to shift unless the truck is in 4 low and under 3 mph.

    Blinking means it did not/could not engage as an unmodified elocker only engages when the system is in 4Lo. No issues.

    Your truck is telling you “Hey! No Rear Locker unless I’m in 4Low.”.
