Default diff lockers on none powerwagon

From the Dodge service manual:
There are four wires on each solenoid:
1. FRONT LOCKER SOURCE
2. LOCKER SENSOR SUPPLY
3. FRONT LOCKER SENSOR SENSE
4. FRONT LOCKER RETURN
OR
1.REAR LOCKER SOURCE
2. LOCKER SENSOR SUPPLY
3.REAR LOCKER SENSOR SENSE
4.REAR LOCKER RETURN

So, is it as easy as:
Connecting Ground to #4 and connecting a switched+12 volts to #1?
and
Optionally connecting+12 volts to #2 Sensor supply if you want an idicator signal back on #3?

Let me know how you make out...and of course how much better your truck does off road.

correct, accept #2 is + 5volt (it a sensor) and #3 is the sensors (-) ground....

They work great, i just put them on a toggle switch w/ a relay

Also, simple install. i have an 04 2500 and there was no grinding of the front diff , like i've read.

Just remember the front ring bolts are reverse threaded!

One more thing, if you want to get fancy with it, drill and tap a hole in the diff cover for an air hose and run your wire through the hose for a sealed connection! Plus it looks cool with those small coiled hoses.
