Lockers are wired up and PDM60 is installed! Running wire is a huge PITA! https://posse4x4.org/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/icon_rasta.gif

I still need to wire up the locker switches but all the wire is run and everything is working well so far. I'll add a picture of the switches once installed.

I created this schematic as a guide for the installation. Circuits 1 and 2 power the lockers. The rest are inactive until I get other accessories.

For the ignition trigger I tapped into M9 and for the dash light M18.

I ran the wires through a hole behind the passenger side dash panel.

I found that the dipstick works well for fishing wires through tight places. Although, there is a hint of 10W-30 in the cabin now. https://posse4x4.org/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/icon_lol.gif
The wires shown are for the 4 inactive circuits. I plan to install switches for them above the stereo.

Safety switch installed.

PDM60 operational. My 2 active circuits for the lockers are green when the ignition is on and the safety switch is on.

Awesome Kevin! Though, I have a fish you could have borrowed to save the oil smell!

Pretty cool project!

Kevin,
What is the "Safety Switch"?

Kevin,

It controls the ground trigger. Right now I have circuits 1 & 2 (lockers) programmed to only be on with ignition trigger AND ground trigger. So with the ignition on, turning on the safety switch enables the locker switches. I did it that way because my lockers are wired independently of the Jeep's system (I can turn them on/off any time I want, front or rear, hi or low, 2WD or 4WD) and I don't want to turn on a locker accidentally doing 70 on the freeway. 🙂

Shocking....

If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

Hi-lift mounted! Mounted it higher to allow half doors in storage bag to slide underneath jack but on top of security trunk.

How does that affect your visibility when looking out your rear view mirror?

No worse than a full size spare would. tongue

Plus, it can be easily moved up or down if I need to. smile
