Okay its been awhile since Ive posted anything on here, so some background about 2 months ago I took my 93 Ford Bronco to get its VA state inspection done and well it failed. One of the items was rear axle oil seal was bad and oil contaminated the brake shoes :closedeyes: , So fast foward and I just got around to fixing the problem. So to replace the seals I had to pop open the diff cover and found this (see pics), The wire seems to have been parted for awhile probably before i bought the truck, I cant find anything online similar to what i have. I thought i had a Ford 8.8 but know i am not sure so i am hoping someone can help me.

Looks like you have an Electric locker or E-Locker. Now the question is wheather it was ever wired up or not. It should perform the same as an open diff untill power is applied to the unit. It should also come apart the same as the stock diff.

So if it is a e-locker then that wire is supplying power to the electromagnet and should be able to repair by reataching the the wires to the e-locker.

ELocker™ Operating & Installation Instructions

http://www.eaton.com/ecm/groups/public/@pub/@eaton/@per/documents/content/ct_128304.pdf

Excerpts;

Step 1 – Begin to Install Wiring

With the provided wiring kit, begin to lay out the wiring for the

installation. Temporarily position wiring in its intended

location along the frame from the axle housing to the power

source. Later in the process, once proper operation has

been established, the protective plastic conduit (included)

can be installed where needed and the harness can be

securely fastened in place. Position the wires so they are

sheltered and enter the vehicle cabin in a convenient

location.

Step 2 – Mount Relay

Locate a region behind the dash to mount the relay. Secure

the relay in place.

Step 3 – Install Dash Switch

Locate a point on the dash where the switch can be mounted

conveniently. Carefully cut a 1” (25.40mm) diameter hole in

the selected dash location for switch installation. Before

inserting the dash switch in the opening, securely connect

the wires to the pins on the back of the switch per the wiring

diagram. Be sure that the terminals are firmly in place. Tie

up any excess wire and fix it behind the dash. Press the

switch into the opening on the dash so that it is secured

Step 4 – Connect to Power Supply

Connect the RED wire (with the eye loop) to a constant 12V

power supply, such as the positive terminal on the battery or

a live terminal at the junction box. Connect the BLUE wire

(with the eye loop) to a power supply from the ignition of the

vehicle. This power supply should only be active when the

vehicle is running or the ignition is turned “on.” Connect the

BLACK wire (with the eye loop) to a grounded point on the

vehicle, such as the negative terminal of the battery or a

bare metal stud."
