This document provides guidance on locating the activation switch for an aftermarket locker, based on user experiences.

Problem

Choosing an appropriate and easily accessible location for an aftermarket locker activation switch while minimizing the risk of accidental engagement.

Considerations

  • Accessibility: The switch should be easily accessible from the driver’s seat.
  • Accidental Activation: The location should minimize the risk of accidental activation by passengers, kids, or shifting objects.
  • Aesthetics: Consider integrating the switch in a way that looks factory or matches the vehicle’s interior.

Suggested Switch Locations

  1. Center Console (Coin Holder Location):

    • Pros: Easy access.
    • Cons: Risk of accidental activation. Suitable if you can monitor the switch.
  2. Near Dash Illumination Adjuster/Headlight Switch:

    • Pros: Less prone to accidental activation by passengers.
    • Cons: May require reaching.
  3. Next to the Dash Illumination Adjuster:

    • Consider using a factory electric rear diff lock switch for a clean install.
