PICTURES: Need Help Identifying E-locker pre-wiring

[BrandonF]

I purchased an elocker axle a little while back, repainted it, replaced a couple seals, etc and installed it. I've now started tackling the wiring. I got the switch, computer and full wiring harness as well as the elocker to under-seat harness. I located the plugs for the switch and computer, plugged them in, and when I press the switch, the e locker light flashes on the dash. Great!

I've now moved onto the wiring under the rear seat and it doesn't appear that I have the proper prewiring.


This first picture is of my under-seat wiring. The black plug seems fine but in the white plug, it appears that I am missing the extra (green?) wires required for the elocker. As can be seen, it only contains 4 wires - black, white, green and red.

Here is the differential to under-seat harness I have. Pretty standard as far as I can tell.

The following three pictures are of the sub-harness that joins the diff-seat harness to the main harness (I have the main full length harness as well. I did not take any pictures of this). The grey plug plugs into the diff to seat harness no problem. The black plug also looks fine and plugs into the black plug under the seat. The problem is with the white plug. It is different than the white plug that I have in my truck from the factory and as I mentioned, contains quite a few more wires. Does this mean that my full length harness is not actually pre-wired for the elocker and I must use the full length dash to rear elocker-compatible harness that I picked up? I am not really sure where to go from here.

If anyone could let me know what my options are with this wiring that I have, it'd be much appreciated. I could always just purchase the full wiring kit from lowrangeoffroad and use that but I'd rather save the money and have a factory setup if I can.

Looks like you have almost exactly the same setup as I have. Just finished mine up this past weekend. In a nutshell, I used the plugs you have there, plugged them in under the seat and basically used 5 of the wires to run up to the ECU under the kick panel. Cut 4 of them (from my existing plug.. into the ECU) and soldered them together. One of the wires, I spliced into, as it needs to be left intact, I believe it also ties into the ABS system.
I don't remember off the top of my head which wires are which, but there are lots of wiring diagrams here on this site. The write-up from Sonoran steel is very helpful, and it is the way I went. Pretty simple really, although I hated cutting any factory wiring!

Nice color!
You are not pre-wired, but lucky you having all the things you need.
I moved my 4 existing wires from the original plug over to the elocker's plug, then my elocker wiring alongside the other wiring- but I didn't have anything forward of where it comes into the cab. Those 4 wires should already be in your elocker harness.

Post 1884, first pic shows what wire is what in the connector (the rest is for those of us without a brain...er.....ecu).

Thanks for the reply! That makes a lot of sense and seems very simple. Now the only part I need to figure out is where these wires feed in on the ecu end. And whether it'd be easier to pull the 4 wires I need out of the extra wiring harness I have or if I should just buy enough wire to make the 4 wires. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll need to cut apart the entire wiring harness to get these 4 wires, won't I?

Sorry, since I didn't have an ecu I simply switched the wires at the connector under the rear seat. I don't know if you could pick them up farther up the line, like at the kick panel or not.

BigFishAllDay had some really good stuff on the ecu wiring...
