I’ve got a 2013 POWERWAGON. I’ve owned it for the past two years. Currently running 35” Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ. Pretty much stock with the addition of some 6” Hella LED lights and a K&N cold air intake.
Trying to figure out my lockers/sway bar. When I first purchased it, the lights would only blink when trying to engage them. Now, I have no locker lights on the dash at all. I’ve looked for blown fuses but nothing. Where is the module that controls the switch/ locker/smart bar? I’ve seen lots of posts about blinking lights, but not much about no lights. Just trying to figure out a direction to start getting the situation resolved.

New Member 2013 locker problem
Hey yall.
I own a 2013 PW with 60,000 miles on it. Currently running 35/12.5/17 Mickey Thompson ATZ's on stock wheels. I've owned the truck for two years and have never been able to engage the lockers. When I first bought it, I would get the blinking light, but as of late, I don't even have a blinking light on the locker or sway bar switches. I've seen lots of posts about blinking lights but not much on NO LIGHTS. Hoping that joining the site can give me some insight into whats going on.
Thanks for the addition.

Re: New guy to the PWR
The sway bar is the final drive control module. Check the 50 pin connector at the sway bar, look for corrosion or broken pins. To release the connector, push the release tab and pivot the cam-lock open.

Re: New Member 2013 locker problem
If you have no lights for the locker knob and swaybar disconnect on the dash. Chances are that your smartbar has died. That's what happened to mine. Had to get another smartbar.
