Ok so here is the final question i pose now...
When i buy the Switch
http://www.quadratec.com/products/52446_110.htm
And then i buy the harness
http://www.quadratec.com/products/52446_111.htm
And then i get it flashed...
Because the harness will not be hooked to any lockers and there will be a oem switch not connected to anything (locker switch) even though it will be flashed for the E disco...wont it still be throwing a code? I just thought about that since theres gonna be locker clips not connected to anything...
maybe it wont have a problem but it just seems like it would...what do you think? is it gonna be a problem even after i drop 150+ bux in getting all the switches and wires and getting it flashed?

I have the switch with lockers and it doesnt do anything.
But I'll have the swarbay section this week if you want it...

I connected the sensor to that blinking LED and mounted that right above the switch (CoolTech LLC switchmount.) Did you hookup yours to the ARB switch, as I remember terminal numbers 2 and 3 on the back of it?

do you have a pic of what your switches look like in the dash? Im obsessive compulsive, but not really bad, so i am really hating that i can wire my lockers in to the oem switch like i thought i could...its gonna drive me nuts...could link a pic of yours so i can see what it will look like if i wire in another switch thats not oem for the lockers, in the future.

Do you think it would be possible to just cut out the back of one of my empty switches on my OE switch box and put in a after market switch for the lockers but in the stock place? I mean since there no switch there at all as of now?

Yes I bought the harness. It was really weird, the 4 door harness was about $78 and the 2 door harness was over $100. The plugs made everything much easier. For the time I was going to have to spend figuring it out, it was worth the cash to me. I didn't want to cut the plugs as the one goes straight into the differential and I didn't think I could secure it without the OEM plug.
I connected the sensor to that blinking LED and mounted that right above the switch (CoolTech LLC switchmount.) Did you hookup yours to the ARB switch, as I remember terminal numbers 2 and 3 on the back of it?

Well, all new wiring is done, I made a new harness all the way from the junction to the cab, just await the Carling switches now... I also routed wiring for the sensors and will have separate diods on the dashboard to tell when locked/unlocked!

PNasty, here's what mine looks like. I took them on the way to the store this morning. Pardon the dust and trash, I'm getting ready for a ride through Engineer and Cinnamon Pass tomorrow.

From left to right the switches control the ARB compressor, front bumper KC 8"ers, windshield KC 6"ers, rear backup KC rectangulars and the front locker. You can see the small green LED right above the switch there.
