Well, if my locker was doing this I might try that. What would I have to lose other than a few bucks?The part number shows up on Alibaba.
I refuse to go this route, but someone else can take that gamble.

Nice detective work!!! This is great info for others to use.Ok update on my locker situation and some tips.
I started throwing lock status codes on offroad pages and display when in 2hi and not locked. Only 6500 miles at the time.
Locker buttons would flash when i tried to engage or disengage. Once in a while they would work, but sporatically.
I have a taser jl mini, so when I disabled front locker only in taser, rear locker would work ok and no error codes. If both lockers were enabled, error codes would throw and neither would work.
So using the taser allowed me to narrow it down to which axle was having issues w locker.
The z automotive oem harness was installed on front axle, enabled both in taser and bam, all is good. Both work and no errors.
Thanks for help in the group. I have opened a ticket w Jeep Wave and will continue to press to make the part available separately and deserving of a redesign. I also may reach out to Sr exec at Dana since they are putting these items out which are problematic.
would like to hear how the trip to the dealer goes. I have the same issue.Has anyone ever had this light turn on before (service axle lockers)? The lockers obviously don’t work and I have no idea what is going on. I’ve checked all the wiring and plugs and all seems good.
I dropped it off earlier today at the dealer, but hope they don’t blame the tires and RK lift on the issue, as it seems to be electrical.

Hello,
I was curious if this is what you purchased from ZAutomotive?
https://www.zautomotive.com/product/z_lkr_oem/
Im thinking of buying one if it worked for you!
Folks can tell me I told you so TJP!Everyone who has had this covered under warranty, what about re-gearing? Have they warrantied this? Did you have to re-gear again? Wat if the dealer does the re-gear?

I'm re-geared and it voided me getting a new axle which in hind site was a blessing because it forced me to fix it myself and now I don't deal with all the BS you guys getting new axles deal with. Been wheeling the snot out of my Jeep for a year now while, sadly, others are playing dealership jockey.Everyone who has had this covered under warranty, what about re-gearing?

Sadly, if they made this $2 part available, they could replace it for you and have a very happy customer rather than leave you with a bad taste in your mouth over the voiding of warranty like that.I'm re-geared and it voided me getting a new axle which in hind site was a blessing because it forced me to fix it myself and now I don't deal with all the BS you guys getting new axles deal with.

They knew and I knew that the re-gear had NOTHING to do with this problem but they used it as an excuse to say "Well you were in the axle and now there is a problem so no warranty for you."
I know one person who got a new axle who had re-geared their existing one but I don't know how that was handled. I can tell you there is NO WAY AT ALL I would allow a dealer to re-gear my axle... NEVER EVER EVER EVER.
Is what it is at this point. That same dealer did a lot to help me with other issues with the backing of JeepCares so I'm not complaining. Honestly I want the dealers touching my Jeep as little as possible.Sadly, if they made this $2 part available, they could replace it for you and have a very happy customer rather than leave you with a bad taste in your mouth over the voiding of warranty like that.
It's just not smart business on several levels.
Some of these dealerships are just dumb. You'd think with as little as they know about Jeeps, they must have been selling Fords up to the minute you walked in.Well, I have fallen victim of the Service Axle Locker System light just over a week ago. I brought it to the dealer last week to take a look at it and they told me my lift caused the issue because it put too much stress on the wiring harness. They wanted to charge over $250 to replace the connector...I told them if it truly was my lift, I'd take care of it.
I brought the Jeep to full flex today to investigate and there's no way my lift caused it. There is plenty of slack in the line to prevent this from happening.
It looks like someone had damaged the red/green line at one point with a probe and the yellow/green looks like it has a slice.
I also pulled my rear connector and it has the dreaded oil on it.
First step is to call Customer Care and call these fools out on their crappy diagnostic.
