Re: Rubicon front locker
I met a fellow with a Rubicon at Camp Jeep this year whose front locker
would not engage when if the vehicle was warm. The Jeep enginering team
correctly diagnosed it as a bad switch. The switch is not a simple rocker
switch. It is on the computer's bus and there are electronics inside the
swith itself.
Don's problem sounds different, but I wanted to add a second data point
about Rubicon lockers failing to engage.

Re: Rubicon front locker
Sounds like you found an unusually good Ford dealership.
