Strange, could this be why the plate has to be installed in the same position it was removed from? @chevymitchell any insight on this?Turns out there is a reason for 5 being sent to me.
Very odd. I potted #5 so we will see if she works normal right off the bat
Nah. That plate can really be installed in any position. However, Dana prefers it to go back into the same position because of standard mechanical wear.
Most likely a wheel speed sensor, but could be a loose connector on the locker sensor too as mentioned.
Oh, interesting. I wouldn’t have considered wheel speed sensor. I will crawl under and check the connector, today.
Somebody on here had a problem with one that was just really dirty. Maybe take a water hose after each wheel.
Yes that’s a good point. To clean the sensors you have to remove the wheels / brake rotors and pull the sensor out of the hub assy and flush it out with dirt. I was amazed how mush dirt was in mine when I replaced my ball joints.
Yeah they're "Hall Effect" sensors that basically count how often a magnet moves past them . . . so I imagine any tiny iron particles in the soil just get stuck on the magnet over time and help trap even more dirt.
Unlocking can take a bit or require rotation to finalize the process.Took the opportunity to pot my sensors, install motobilt diff covers and rancho skids, and swap to clean fluid on my newish JL. Took it out for a spin and activated my lockers easy enough. Noticed unlocking them took awhile (30+ seconds) and it seemed like I needed to move forward slowly to get them unlocked. Normal?
