I finally got around to trying out those new stock looker switches in the jeep.

Even though they were all 3 wire, I found that the black, was fortunately the ground. Some companies have been using a white wire for that lately. The Red Is switched power and the white if connected acts as if the switch is engaged. All 3 light up when pressed which is cool. The compressor switch is for the York. It stays on all the time, but I can kill it if need be.
The Front and Rear Diff switches are tapped into the stock Axle Lock switch, So I decided to just leave that one as is, since I don't have anything I need that spot for. If I have any issues with the separate switches, I can disconnect them and then use the stock switch.

The only issue is that with these new switches, for some reason the locker lights on the dash just flash.
I can hear the pumps come on when I hit each switch. I also jacked up each end to verify that unlocked, the tires spin opposite directions and locked, you can't spin them, confirming they lock and unlock. It's just a little odd. Maybe off-road, just like previously, this will iron itself out.

So the flashing lights did not go away, but the the lockers and switches worked fine.
it's really weird about these switches not getting the signal to the computer to make the dash stop flashing, but whatever.
The switches look great and the flashing tells me, I activated the pumps. My Steering and traction will tell me it's locked.
For me, that is more than good enough.
