Default Factory lockers mod to use in 4wd Hi??

I was hoping someone could tell me how, if it is possible, to mod the factory rubicon so the electronic lockers will function in 4wd Hi.

Thanks. I'm guessing this will void the warranty? Does anyone know for sure?

Default make it harder for them to tell

I don't have pictures but I will try to explain.

Under the hood on the back right corner there are 2 relays. Each one controls a locker. Pull the battery and remove the battery box bolts to give you room to pull the harness up. Instead of splicing into the wires next to the relay splice a lot farther down the harness so that your connections will be hidden by the battery box. Run you wires to your switch. Replace the wiring harnes under the battery box, bolts and battrey. Now run the ground wires together and place a pin connector in the wire between the switch and ground so that it can be accessed behind the access panel on either side. Mine is on the passenger side next to the door. When I go to the dealer I just unplug the pin connection and the switches no longer work.

Just a thought. I don't know if the black box records the lockers use or not but
I'm not going to make it easy for them. for the record if the lockers are not broken why would a dealer search for the mod anyway. Kind of sound like unlaw search to me.
