Is my locker locking??
So I wired the red to the red on the battery, the blue to a fuse (on the non hot side, us what I was told) that comes on with ignition. The black is grounded. I hit the switch and the light doesn't turn on. I was told my steering would be stiff, but dont notice the difference. Advice???

you should notice if your locker is working when you turn. and it sounds like your switch doesn't have a power wire run to it to light up. seems like you spent as much time wiring up this locker as you did describing the problem.

jmo, but i don't get too wound up on the whole ignition on, ignition off thing. i would personally run it so the switch is live all the time, because when im done with my locker or im turning my jeep off, i would never leave the switch on. this is how i would run my wiring...but with the 3rd wire run with the positive http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl...,r:14,s:0,i:98
