Rubicon Sway Bar Disconnect Not Working

[El Jeffe]

Hey guys, I have a 2020 Rubicon with a Rock Krawler 4.5 lift. The other day I was off-roading and went to select the sway bar disconnect, not only was it not working, there are no lights in the switch, on the dash, and even the off-road page shows nothing - it should say “swaybar” and either be connected or disconnected with a “lock” icon IIRC. I checked the fuses, they look good and I have no warnings. Is there a connection I need to check somewhere?

You look at the motor itself under and behind the front bumper? Did you try and drive a bit and them disconnect? Sometimes they need some movement to fully disconnect. Were you on level ground when disconnecting? Did you visually inspect your sway bars for intrusions?

Hi Javier, there is no indication of the Jeep even recognizing that there’s a swaybar disconnect at all. I looked and jiggled the connection at the unit itself but I couldn’t tell if it’s a cannon plug connection or not. It seems like theres a plug disconnected somewhere as there’s no lights, not even when I press the button (even the light in the button doesn’t work).

BTW, you’re in the Navy? My wife is retired NCIS.

Okay, stupid me. The Tazer setting was “Swaybar disconnect-removed”. Reset the Tazer and voila, swaybar disconnect works!

I am. Wife and I. Seems you might be too with saying cannon plug. ?

I’ve started using the live buttons as of late for the tazer, since the trail turn feature came out. Using “swaykill” on the live is awesome and allows you to go over the 30mph mark vs when you hit the button at a stop only lets you go to 30mph and re locks you back up.
