Hey everyone, first time YJ owner here and new member . Looking forward to plugging into this community.
The YJ came with an ARB rear locker that is having an issue. Compressor turns on and charges no issues. When I engage rear locker the compressor continuously runs. I jacked up rear and verified wheels are locked (both spin same direction in neutral).
So I chased the line and couldn’t find a leak going from compressor to the Dana 44 rear axle. What I did find is there is an air sound coming from a tube connected to the left side of the axle (circled in photo). The end of the tube where air is leaking has a Danco white cap, any idea what this is??? See pics.
I’m assuming what’s happening here is a bad arb seal housing inside and the air is somehow charging the entire axle or maybe a bad pressure switch over pressurizing. If it’s a leak it’s weird that locking works. My first Jeep so sorry if this is obvious. What do you guys think??
