good day everyone, have a problem with my arb lockers. have installed front and rear lockers about 6 years ago, work great and highly recommend them. the issue is when i turn on the air compressor the compressor stops when small tank is full. when i engage the front locker the compressor also stops. now the problem is when i engage the rear locker the compressor never stops. after further investigation i find the only leak i have is in the black solenoid ( the theaded empty hole in the solenoid) the air seems to leak from this solenoid. is the solenoid defective? is it just a simple fix by replacing the soleniod or do i have to something else as the directions state disconnecting a valve to allow the solenoid to rotate. any help from will be greatly appreciated. cheers, robert

Had the same problem...worked it it was an O ring in the actuating system within the diff. The parts were about $50- but it cost about $150 to have it repaired...
If you think it mat be the solenoid- switch them around (just the wiring)..and see what happens...
If it is the O ring in the diff.- you will notice air being blown out the diff breather tube when the locker is engaged..

G'day all, a different locker problem - does anyone have a wiring diagram for the compressor? with
mine you can't turn on the compressor by itself, it's locked or its off, the compressor switch on it's own doesn't do anything at all, I think it may have a wire off or wired incorrectly, thanks , aussiedingo

I would agree that it is probably the O ring in the Diff. 6 years is a decent run out the O rings.
Check the diff breather when the locker is activated as described before. Definitely worth getting the front diff done at the same time as the rear as it wont be long till the same thing happens on the front.

Hi Robert, The spare hole that you are describing on the solenoid valve is the exhaust port. If there is air coming out of it (when the locker is engaged ), then the solonoid valve is faulty. Air should only come out of the exhaust port at first when you disengage your locker. So before you spend your hard earned getting someone to replace the orings in the lockers, first fix or replace your faulty solenoid, & then see if the air compressor turns off & your system holds pressure.
Regards OM&M.

Second this, as stated above. swap blue hoses, and lock front (now rear) and if compresser stops, it is the solenoid if it keeps ging it is the diff

To confirm if solenoid or line / locker seal, try swapping the blue air lines over on the solenoid from one to the other. If problem persists on rear then it could be an airline or locker seal. If the fault moves to the front locker then it will be the solenoid.

thanks to all that helped out with this problem. as someone advised, i inverted the airlines and the air still leaked. turned out to be a faulty solenoid. i thought only the black part with the hole was only needed, but needed to change the aluminum valve or whatever it is called attached to it. but now everything works fine. thanks again to everyone. another problem solved by Exploroz. cheers, robert
