Here is the picture : P1936[02]_29-12-11.jpg. I have a 09 H3 lux.

This is for the future use, when I have front and rear differential lockers.

I wonder if it works when I just replace the inside panel.:huh: Rewire/Customize the two locker buttons.

nice, I dont see any reason why it wouldnt work, its just a switch that would close or open a circuit. You could wire any button to do anything.

I cant remember what the back of those panels look like. I think theres some sort of plug that goes in each spot, but I cant recall. When you go to add in the lockers and wire them to that board you might have to improvise to make it look clean. Maybe someone on here with factory llockers has a picture of theirs. Are the LEDs built into that switch cluster?

Yes, lights are build in the switch cluster, I just unscrewed all screws and took a look at it.

Do I have to disconnect the battery before I test/change the switch cluster?:huh:

probably not but to be safe and possibly save yourself thousands of dollars just disconnect the negative terminal.

is this an aftermarket switch or is this just from a different year H3? You will have to wire the lockers directly to the button/switch where as the factory ones probably ran through the vehicle computer. If you can do it yourself or have a friend that is knowledgeable in electronics help it will save you a ton of money. I had a circuit board that I built which could be adapted for this application and should work great. I'll check if I still have it, but it may have been blown up
