Im not sure what it is on a obs, but I made one for my superduty. There is a wire that goes to the transmission, you simply splice into it, and then run the wire back to a switch of your choice, then ground the other wire. Simple as that.

But be careful, because you will break stock parts after a while.

:whs: It's the same for an obs....purple wire with the yellow tracer I believe

OK thanks guys,now how would I make it so that it can lock like factory an have it so I can lock it up manually? I really just wanna do it for crushing around mpgs, also where is the best place to tap into the wire for it? Sorry guys never did a lockup switch be fore an don't wanna mess it up

yes purple wire and yellow tracer is the obs color.
no idea for superduties.
no the light will not blink.

OK now for the millionth question lol where can I locate the wire?

 

[KBMKVIII]

Wire bundle that runs along drivers side frame rail.
Take a look in there.
Clean the wires with degreaser if you can't tell color.
Solder a wire to it then heat shrink.
Run wire to a switch in the cab that connects to ground.
When grounded the converter locks.

I guess its different on the OBS, but in my Superduty, the OD light flashes if you lock it any other time than when tuning calls for.

i guess mine is the same... anytime i lock it at lower speeds it flashes.

There is no purple wire that goes to my tranny, there's a brown wire with yellow tracer is the only wore with a yellow tracer

Have you taken a rag and some degreaser to the wires?
