Front Locker Blinking Light

[pemz0r]

I am looking to purchase this setup so I can have the front locker light blink while it's engaging. It looks like a vacuum pump, wire loom and a PCB board. If anyone has one or a source for one that would be awesome. Thank you.

I wonder if a turn signal relay could be adapted. Instead of turning the light on, the locker switch would ground the flasher relay and would be wired to the indicator light to flash it vs being on full time. You could even add a buzzer if you needed something audible.

Something to think about, but I will still need the vacuum pump sensor

The intent of the flashing indicator for the front locker is to warn the driver that front locker engagement is imminent but has not happened yet. This is a safety feature, a flashing warning BEFORE it locks the steering.

The metal item above with a hose and some wires looks more like a vacuum switch than a pump. That switch would be what tells the circuit board that the front locker control has been set to LOCK.

That wouldn't be much warning. My front locker is pretty instantaneous. It may react quicker than the rear locker. I thought it was more of a "look at me" somebody accidentally engaged me vs a glowing indicator light.

I suppose it would depend what you wanted the indicator light to do. Then go from there. I have to believe the factory version is pretty rare and would be expensive.

Either way, quick or not, I still would like to see it work like a factory issue option.

I purchased the twist style mechanism, need to source the spring, so that way the knob has to be twisted before pulling the knob.
