[s-cars] Re: EDL Vs. Manual Diff Lock

[Chip Ellis]

Does Qaife already make one for the front?

Rear-dff lock speed sensor:  On my CQ, I simply disconnected (cut) the
speedometer input wire (white/blue) from the rear diff lock control unit and
it seems to work (stays locked at any speed).
One wierd thing is now my ABS doesn't always turn off when I lock the rear
diff (which it's supposed to do), but I don't know if that's related to the
speed
wire (and I don't care because I turn off ABS on snow/ice anyway).
