Locker Anytime Mod for Dummies 2005+

Finally did this mod! It works just as advertised! I really appreciate this thread OP. I was looking at adding an LSD or a Trutrac diff but this does the job for MUCH cheaper!

 

What relay did you get? The previous ones listed are now $27+shipping.

Would this work?

I got the one linked from page 1 of this thread. It has the diode built in and works perfectly!
I’m not sure if the one you linked on Amazon would work….check with the OP.

 

Ive been reading this thread for a while now. Ill spend the $27 if I have to, but wondering if there are other options on Amazon. @jsi have you found anything? Its been a few years now, and things have changed

 

You can buy the relay and diode and solder it yourself, that's all I did. Here's a link to a video I made to show the DIYer how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRD5ioaOhxo And here are links to the parts on Amazon:

I purchased both listings. Another question, this seems to be the 5A version of the relay. Will it still work? And do you or anyone else have an updated pinout? My numbers seem to be different than the OP

I have not soldered in the diode yet*

 

5 amps should be plenty for this application, and sorry for the numbering mixup. I did not catch that on the Amazon listing. I'm 98% sure that the numbering on the picture below is correct, but could you post a couple of pictures showing the sides and top. I want to check that the LED is connected to pin 14 and the resistor is connected to pin 13.

 

The screw from the bottom is where the arrow is pointing

 

OK, my picture is correct. My verbiage above was incorrect so I've fixed it and I'll restate it here so there's no confusion. Pin 14 is positive + and the white stripe end of the diode is soldered to it. Pin 13 in negative - and the other end of the diode is connected to it.

 

Thank you so much for jumping back into your old thread!

Nice write up.. Would doing snow donuts break rule #1? haha

 

Holy Cow! how did you find that? That's just what is needed to make a no-cut locker anytime mod. I wonder if there is enough demand to make it worth doing?

 

Build it and they'll buy it...

 

OP, verify and comment.

 

If quality of components and workmanship are there I'm in for a no-cut/hack setup. That said, and not to be mean, but I do not want ROFLCOPTER brand components and contacts (over/under) crimped by a first timer though - I can do amateur work myself.

 

That looks like it would work. A PCB would make the addition of the diode easy and a smaller relay could be used.

 

That relay has a diode...

 

Missed that.
