The dakotas never had an electronic locking rear differential. The two wires going to the top of the pig are just a speed sensor. If you have other wires going back there, the are not stock.

The rear differential does not lock in 4LOCK mode, that locks the front and rear.
In 4LOCK, we're still stuck with an open diff.

As per your owners manual:
