E-locker mystery

[blaze17]

My E-locker stopped working so I took it apart expecting it to be corroded inside but it looked great. I re-installed and tested it with the wheels in the air. It locks and unlocks great if the tires are off the ground but doesn't work at all if it's on the ground.:wtf:

Pay attention to how the wires hang when the rear axle droops with the truck lifted, then try to replicate that bend with the truck on the ground. It is possible the wire has thinned or broken inside the sheathing. Like headphones or bending a paperclip back and forth till it brakes. The wire only makes enough contact when flexed.

Thank you Troybylt. That was it. I found the break and repaired the wire today.

Hey man glad I could provide some insight and happy locking!

Hopefully it wasn't too difficult to find and fix?

Not to bad. I removed the 2 foot long harness between the actuator and the body and checked continuity.
