Rubicon axle upgrade locker switch?
Need info from anyone that has done this upgrade. I'm having the D44 rubicon axles installed on my JK X this Friday or early next week at my dealers custom shop. They are using the OEM wiring harness and switch panel. I had suggested using a panel like Daystars but they said they would use the OEM harness and switch and it would work like in the Rubicon. Now that the parts are here I asked about the dash lights that indicate when locked- they didn't know. I said the switches have no lights to indicate when locked. They don't know about flashing the computer. Has someone had this (flash) done on a X and can you tell me what was done and the name and city of the dealership that did it. Thanks for any help- Joe. P.S. I'm not dogging this shop, they do excellent work, this is just something new to them.

Good question, I know it's common for manufacturers to use one dash setup for all vehicles even though some functions might not be available. For example my TJ dash clearly had a light for ABS, but I didn't have the option so it obviously never illuminated. I haven't really looked at my JK dash to see if I can detect any unused lights (for lockers, etc).
