This is exactly why I have my lockers wired to my aux switches, I lock front and rear in 4 h and go through sand like driving down a dirt road. If lockers are engaged then traction control doesn’t come on because there’s no independent wheel slipping so it doesn’t apply brakes.....
I tried it again yesterday, it does that when you're in low rpms and the traction control is a bitch, anyways i assume you have the 4 position transfer case, what i found worked is,
Can you explain a little more? So you dont have the switch in the red color panel for the lockers? You use one of your 4 aux for lockers?This is exactly why I have my lockers wired to my aux switches, I lock front and rear in 4 h and go through sand like driving down a dirt road.

I do have that switch still, I just don’t use it. I have Mopar wiring harnesses that plug into the front/rear differentials and I wired them to my auxiliary switches 3&4, ( 3 front & 4 rear to help me remember, lol.) You can turn off traction control by holding button for however long it says to, but as long as your connected to the computer bld (brake lock differential) is always going to be active because it uses the ABS system. With my harnesses I bypass the computer, it doesn’t know what I’m doing, as far as it knows I don’t have locker engaged, when in fact I do. The bld works with abs when one wheel slips it slows it down to transfer torque to the wheel that’s not slipping. When lockers are engaged you don’t have independent wheel slippage therefore bld doesn’t engage....
Yeah pretty sure since the Tazer is instructing the computer to do the engagement the computer is doing all the sensor checks and whatever else before it goes ahead and locks things up. I would think on sand going straight that it would do it pretty quick. For me engagement seems to go pretty fast, disengage usually takes longer. Direct wire is certainly going to be faster.Yeah, I have tazer mini, it does all that for sure, but when I use it for lockers it hesitates, sometimes it goes right on but sometimes it can take almost a minute before it locks. It might just be my tazer, I’m not saying they all do this but for me I like the instant on, instant off especially if I’m navigating a spot where I need to turn front on or off while maneuvering....
so bld works when there is independent wheel slippage, when the lockers are engaged using the aux switches to bypass the computer that wont happen therefore bld wont come on ?, so i can drive in 4h and 2h with with the lockers on and the bld off ?I do have that switch still, I just don’t use it.

Ok.... if you have lockers wired to aux switches then you can no longer use the factory switch. Nothing will come on anywhere on the dash or off-road pages telling you that lockers are engaged or not. This is what turns some people off from doing this. But I can tell when I’m locked and unlocked by the way it drives. Also if you listen you can here the click. Bld won’t engage because when you’re locked up then you don’t have individual wheel slippage. You can use front and rear lockers in 4 hi and drive as fast as you want they won’t disengage, you can also use rear lockers only in 2 hi. 4 auto is not available with lockers, at least here in the states, so I can’t answer the last question. Hope this makes sense....
thank you, there is a little orange light i mean there is always that. if i want to reverse it i just remover the plug to the aux switches and plug in the factory one to get the factory switch back ?Ok.... if you have lockers wired to aux switches then you can no longer use the factory switch.

I was thinking the same thing. There is a TC on/off button on the center stack. In my one, and only up until now off roading experience I found it much better to turn the traction control off.
Yes.. I just got a rubber cap and taped it up and zip tied it up out of the way and all you do if you want to use factory switch is just plug factory harness back in. Here’s pictures of how I ran wire to front differential up by where hood meets cowl and picture of my factory plugged in and Mopar capped off.
