Once upon a time, before my Jeep was even on the assembly line, I read @chevymitchell's fantastic Locker Position Sensor Potting - DANA 44 post. Then and there, I resolved to prophylactically pot the locker position sensors in my future Jeep, adding the item to my planned mod checklist.
Cut to a week or so ago, I finally got far enough down my list to order potting compound and gear oil. Over the weekend, I removed my rear differential cover to pull the locker position sensor for surgery. That's when disaster struck - turns out my '23 Rubicon has an updated locker position sensor and I had wasted $20 on potting compound!
The moral of the story is '23 and newer Jeeps appear to have updated, well sealed locker position sensors.
(pic borrowed from @legacy_etu's post, which I apparently missed back in September)
And here's the kicker: since Amazon won't allow me to return it, I'll postage paid ship (US only) my mistake purchase potting compound to the first poster who wants it, owns a pre-23 Rubicon, and is brave enough to tackle the locker sensor potting project.
