The electrical connectors are keyed and cannot be swapped unless they are modified.
That is my picture of my Rubicon air pumps relocated to the ABS tray, btw.
Thanks,its race weekend here in Darlington so hopefully i will have a cha6to look at the air lines by tomorrow. I'll let y'all know.
It's quite possible I did not respond because I stepped away from this forum. I just happened to be scrolling when I saw your question and offered a pretty simple solution during some weekend morning coffee (as I'm doing now). I'm happy to see someone else had a better way of explaining the exact solution I gave, and your issue will be solved.
Well I got a chance this morning to get underneath and do some troubleshooting with some answers I have received over that past couple of days. Turns out the pumps are plug specific so it had to be the air lines. I had the transmission rebuilt last year so im assuming they got the airlines mixed up. Which is odd because the airlines seemed to be lining up correctly. I've still got to put pumps back on the bracket and mount the bracket back on the skid plate. My front locker indicator light is still blinking even though it is locked. I've manually rolled the tires and turned the wheel but it stays flashing. Rear light is solid. Any idea on how i can get the indicator light to stay solid and not blink even though its locked? Thanks for the help.
This is the sensor in the axle that tells the cluster the axle is locked.
Check the connector and wiring harness.
DO NOT REMOVE it from the axle. You have to remove the carrier to install this switch.
Have you had any axle work done?

Your guy screwed up the locker sensor inside the housing.
Read this, specifically the parts about the toothpick.

Thank you for figuring this out for me. Hopefully my mechanic will understand the mistake and be able to use this method to fix it!
You should have led with that. I can't ever get back all the time I've spent diagnosing a problem brought to me and after hours spent chasing my tail, I finally get the one critical piece of info that makes it all click into place.
Had you led with that, it would have been the first answer to fix the problem.
None of it is difficult. I have pulled and reinstalled the carrier myself several times over the years.
Yea but I did find out that my pumps and airlines were backwards, lol.
Here's the other option, if you've checked and your front locker is in fact locking, the blinking light has no bearing on that (the locker ring inside the diff is what activates the plunger diff switch). As often as a front locker is used, you could just run it as is and not worry about the blinking light. That's of course if your axle guy refuses or wants to charge you money for fixing it and you are uncomfortable with the fix yourself.
The connectors are keyed and different. The only way the pumps were backwards is if someone spliced on the other connector.
You are my ideal customer. I really like it when my standards can be that low and I still get paid full price.
The pumps were put on the bracket backwards and upside down. That is why the airlines looked normal.
Doesn't change that the only way to reverse the pumps is to change the connectors. Who touched the pumps?
You are correct about the connectors. They are specific to each pump. The airlines were switched.
