So everyone with the electric swaybar will probably come across it not working at some point. I disassembled mine and found the electrical part was too corroded to save. So I installed the EVO manual swaybar disconnect conversion, but discovered a way to avoid the flashing light and it is basically a free modification. The electrical part has the "plunger" that moves to engage and disengage, and then the sensor probe. The sensor probe is a slider made of two pieces needing contact. I pushed the probe in thinking it was jammed, and then when I took visegrips to try and spin it loose it broke off and remained in closed circuit. This can probably be achieved by simply pushing the probe down and using tape or something else to keep it secured. Use your own discretion as to what will work on your Jeep. I then simply moved the electrical control box under the airbox and mechanic wired it to the inner fender. This is a perfect location for the 3.8 setup. This keeps the computer happy, and doesn't require buying a ProCal to simply turn off the light.

Took smartbar apart this mornng Couldnt get pin to move either way in or out even with power hooked up to it Pin wasnt out as far as your diagram pictured it should be Even tried to push on it myself no luck Still trying. thanks for your thoughts

Hi - Great tip , is the sensor on the sway bar assembly under the front bumper or elsewhere in the car? Thanks again...

@overlandexpeditionspeciali5913 5 лет назад

Tim Moolic I believe that it's a matter of the actuator connecting a circuit inside the assembly when it is "rolled in". Not positive because there are some many wires in that plug system but that's my uneducated guess. Thanks!

OverlandExpeditionSpecialists the web link, picture and explanation are excellent. You have gained a new subscriber.

You mention a procal tuner Would that clear the sensor in the jeeps computer? Thanks

@overlandexpeditionspeciali5913 5 лет назад

fruitfly1 Lyonsfarm According to the AEV instruction manual, the Procal can be used to disable the light for people who have removed the swaybar system. I don't own one so I can't verify that. They also have a disclaimer that they consider the programmer to work with any other programmer but some "other" programmers do not guarantee the same mutual function. So If you already own another programmer "it might work together" but you would be paying to just turn off the light. If you don't already own a programmer then I would say it's worth buying for the other calibrations you could do with it.

I couldn't figure out what you meant but I think I get it now. So, snap off the metal sliding pin, connect the electrical harness to the electric motor and secure it? I think my problem was with the electrical connection itself. Loose, dirty, damaged, I don't know. But the electric motor seems fine so this probably won't work for me. What about connecting the necessary wires on the pigtail together to trick the computer? I have no idea which wires though... : (

@overlandexpeditionspeciali5913 5 лет назад

el guapo If your sensor pin moves freely you shouldn't have to snap it off. Tape it or shrink wrap it to where the light isn't flashing and then secure it under the airbox, if you have converted to an EVO disconnect. Rewiring has been mentioned before but I'm not sure if anyone has ever found a proper wiring harness diagram, plus it could effect other computer controlled programs like traction control if you don't get it right, so I would not recommend attempting a change of wiring.

If electric motor appears to reel in and out and your light will turn on and off, then the mechanical portion of the swaybar box inside may just need cleaned and lubricated. Much easier than dealing with the electric side of the swaybar.

The slide on electronic motor part on my sway bar slides freely and the connections are free of any corrosion. But my light continues to flash regardless. Unhooked the battery and it flashes as soon as I turn the Jeep back on. What could it be? How could I test the actuator? Thanks

@overlandexpeditionspeciali5913 5 лет назад

Caden Blazek Are you saying you have disassembled the whole thing and watched the actuator roll in and back? If not yet, be careful because it's spring loaded and you don't want the actuator to "spring off" because it's a pain to get back on, so keep it retained if you test it out of the swaybar gear box. I don't know how much you have dug into your swaybar but the pin connectors probably aren't as corroded as what the actual internals. Mine and every one I've seen pictures of looked like a sunken shipwreck inside.

Is it okay if I send you a private message or a text or something? I’m pretty confused with this over engineered piece🤣 I’m not sure what spring you’re talking about, maybe I already lost it🙄
