If hes referring to the plug in fig 6 of the locker bypass directions then got a wire pulled out of it then yes. The oem plug gets unplugged abd capped. The new plug from the abel harness is then plugged into the axle. As described in line 369b9631ee3cbb34b37001352e0933fd2.png

yea, I guess it depends if the wire came out of the connector on the axle, or the connector that plugs into the axle.

i am willing to bet the guys at the dealer pulled it out while trying to unplug/diagnose the issue.

not doubting their ability to ruin stuff but im pretty sure that connector has one of those locking clips on it so i would imagine it pulled from the harness side. I just went out and double checked mine as well oem harness plug gets capped and abel harness is plugged directly to the locker.

If its that plug $390 is ridiculous to fix it, imho.

This is why I said to fix it. If that's not the issue I'm not paying for it. Anyone know how to get ahold of able for the bypass? Seriously considering kicking it to the curb but new trucks cost so dang much

I understand your frustration from previous events, but it is a pulled cable and not a gremlin. I wouldn't ****can the truck for that.

Kinda sounds like he does...
Not trying to start an argument online, but if he did he could understand why it maybe time to get rid of the truck. 32k miles and this many issues....hopefully it's fixed going to pick up now, $365 bucks...bummer....considering ordering the by pass

Nah, no offense or argument needed. I completely understand your side.

But his side is, that, the current “last straw” issue isnt really the trucks fault (if indeed its because a wire was pulled out of harness).
