Eaton E locker not engaging

Is anyone using the E locker in the front? Ive had mine for a couple years and has worked great but during my recent trip to the Bronco safari in Moab it started to give me problems. I checked the relay and have power all the way down but won't engage. If I can't get this working I'm thinking about going with the ox, does anyone have any experience with that one.

PS
Had a great time in Utah, recomend going at least once.
Thanx

I have had an OX in the front of mine for almost 5 years. It has worked great for me. The only problem I've had was with the early style shift mechanism.

If you have power all the way to the diff, you may have a bad solenoid or ground. How does it ground? Do you hear any clicking when you engage it?

The ground is up at the relay behind the dash, i'm not sure if there is a solenoid on the unit itself doesn't seem to have much room in the diff. the only clicking I hear is the relay, but I've never heard locker click in or out. I figure I'll pull the cover off and see if it's something simple, in about a week, when I get time. I think I probably go with the OX anyways wish I would have done that first.

Thanx

Is that ground at the relay for the relay? Does the solenoid ground through the case then?

Good ?, there is 2 wires coming out of the diff going to the switch, getting ground and power. checked it with a volt meter and getting the same on both ends. I'm still not sure if there is a solenoid inside the case, I guess there would have to be?

Thanx
