Default Locker question
I just installed an ARB locker. My question is, can you hear the locker engage from the front seat?

No question about the compressor. How can you tell when the locker engages?

if your getting wheel spin both left and right tire will be sppining at the same rate. I dont think arb has any kind of indicator light. Also if it doesnt engage I would think the compressor would keep coming on continually.

Thats the down side of ARB you only know its working if the tires are spinning.If your compressor stays on it should engage your locker,and you have an air leak somewhere
