Original Nissan Titan E-Lock Mod

This modification was originally performed on my Nissan Titan.  I've adapted it to the Frontier
by using the factory service manual for the 2005 Frontier, revision November 2004.
I've received reports from several Frontier owners that this mod works perfectly.

 

Having failed at tricking the control units into thinking conditions are met to lock the rear diff,
I bypassed the control units entirely – I wired 12volt power directly to the diff lock solenoid.

Here a picture showing component locations for the Frontier:


Here are a couple wiring diagrams:

Here’s a pin explanation:

Here is a color code chart:

+12volts is applied on terminal 12, with terminal 11 being switched ground – power to the diff
solenoid is controlled by switching the ground at terminal 11. I’m betting the diff control unit
can isolate the +12volts on terminal 12, so I want to switch both power and ground.
