i may have missed it, but does anyone have the part number for the sensor/cable? I am considering buying an extra to have on hand just in case.

Mtpisgah, why not get the Z Auotomotive sensor bypass for about $180, any problem anywhere just insert it between the connector on differential and the wire harness connector in a couple minutes good to get back on the road or trail, I don't have the part number but the dealer said it would be about $450 or so.....Jack

Generally I am not a fan of bypasses, but if that really is the best, and easiest option when on the trail (no diff fluid change), I will look into it.

I've installed the bypass for 2 different clients and they are still working over 2 years later. Easy fix......

Does the dealer now replace the sensor or do they still swap the entire axle? I got a new axle last time this happened. The last comment in that thread implies they can now replace the sensor, which is my hope.

Got my Jeep back and they were able to replace the sensor this time instead of swapping the entire axle. ?

Getting my Rear axle lock sensor replaced today. Finally stayed on the dash long enough to show the dealer.

They stated lock head bolts on the rear axle need replaced with the sensor … Jeep says they do not tighten all the way and support minor leakage… Haven’t heard/read about the lock head bolt not tightening enough on the rear axle being an issue …

Anyone else have The bolts replaced for this reason???

It's funny sometimes the explanations they come up with for things.
Those are one time use bolts, yes, technically, but not for that reason. They do not "support minor leakage". They are torque to yield if I recall - meaning to do it correctly, by the book, you replace them every time the cover comes off.
So for a dealership to do the work, if they follow the directions in the docs, they replace the bolts. But if your lock sensor is a warranty thing, then those bolts are also covered as it's part of the process for remove and replace internal parts - such as the sensor.

? Thank you sir! Makes sense, yes it is under warranty …and I am glad to hear it’s being done properly … agreed he could have left out the minor leakage comment for sure …. Especially since it’s not costing me anything smh

I had this happen, maybe last year but it went away. It has returned last evening 1300 miles into my 1500 mile trip. Hope this part is still under warranty. Hahaha

Ok so does mopar have a part number for the rear sensor replacement? I’ve got the bypass z auto plug in but the factory plug still leaks by.

The repair kit comes with 5 sensors. You start by installing #1 and test...if no joy, install #2, repeat till the light is off. My 01/21 build required the #3 sensor.......Another 2018 JL I did last year required 2 #1's.
