I just bought a pair of d44īs out of a 2006 Rubicon with everything I need to actuate the lockers but the dash switch.
Iīm swaping those axles onto my 2001 TJ.
How do I connect the locker compressors to 2 independent switches ??
My idea is to use 2 ARB style switches.
Anyone has the wiring diagram for those compressors ??
Any imput appreciate it

THIS (http://www.wanderingtrail.com/Buildup/Locker_Defeat.htm) should give you a start.
Are you planning on hooking it up so the 4 wheel drive dash light works?
I snagged a cheap set of rubi D44s and put them in my TJ. I have a flipped/geared D300 so I didnt bother with the dash light. I also didnt run the pumps to the axle harness. I just cut the harnesses off of the pumps and wired them up using the following diagram. I used 2 switches from HERE (http://4x4mods.com/Product/Jeep/rockerswitches.html) to activate the lockers and a safety switch so I cant acitvate them accidentally on the highway like below. I can activate the lockers independently at any speed in any gear.

Frostytj, thank u for the info, very usefull.
Anyway, just to be sure Iīm understanding ok( electrical things are not my strong point :confused: ).........
Yesterday I look under my friend Rubiconīs and I saw there was 4 plugs going to the compressors; I guess thereīs more than 2 wires per each pump. Can you tell me exactly (color code) wich cables I need to route to the switch at the dash. Also do I need to use relays ??
Thanks again

That makes 2 of us then. :D
If I remember correctly I just used the black and red off the pump. Blacks to ground and reds to the switches. I did not use any relays as the pumps use very little current but you can. It wont hurt anything if you do.
