Default Any Power Wagon owners out there?

I was hoping someone could snap a pic of what their switch looks like to engage the Trac-rite electric locker in the front. I am getting ready to install one in my 2005 2500 CTD and checked with the dealer about the harness and the switch so I could make it look nice. They quoted me $27.60 for the harness and $34.70 for the switch but could not tell me where the switch is located on a PW or even what the switch did. They were pretty clueless for being Dodge mechanics. I was just curious what the switch looked like, where it was mounted and possibly if there is anything like relays in the mix.

It may be easy and probably more cost effective to make something on my own but I would like to look at the original setup to be sure.

Thanks for your help!

I guess I was assuming the 2005 PW and mine were probably the same interior but I have the manual 4x4 shift on the floor. It will probably be just as easy to wire up something on my own with a switch from Autozone.

ALL Power Wagons come with the manual-shift transfer case. The three-position rotary **** (Left: Lockers Off, Middle: Rear locker On, and Right: Rear & Front locker On) is positioned to the left of the four rocker switches, below the A/C & heater controls. I hope that this picture works for you: http://www.fourwheeler.com/brandpage.../photo_03.html

Good luck!

Thanks guys, my dash doesn't have that extra set of rockers shown in the pic so I will just have to rig up a switch of my own in there. That was what I needed to know though!

You could probably come across one, but there just aren't a lot of Power Wagons out there. Besides, the factory wiring would run thru the PCM . Running your own set-up will be your best bet.
