derodster Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hello , I have have some work done on my old (1985) 90 over the past months and I am missing my difflock light It seems the cable is no longer there, the switch is though So my question is where in the loom does it connect, as I can only presume it got pulled out with gearbox during change some time ago and never returned It used to work fine before I see a 4 way connector close to the clutch fluid reservoir so am wondering is that it, but maybe someone could point me to where it should connect Thanks Rod rwalsh53@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 If I recall correctly, there's a switch near the point the diff lock linkage enters the transfer box housing. It's a one-wire spade connector terminal. If it's not been connected you should be able to see the wire dangling near by. On a right hand drive vehicle this will be more or less in line with the handbrake lever, but a tad further forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Switch sits between on top of the front housing to rear of the diff lock linkage, it's a pig to get at on a fitted box, plain black wire from switch to one of the Cross shaft housing bolts, other wire is black with blue trace from other terminal on switch to a bullet connection at top of right chassis rail under drivers floor, Switch is at end of pointer in photo below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to find the correct wire, look up the colour in the manual and search for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I've already posted the correct wire colours in my reply above. 22 hours ago, western said: plain black wire from switch to one of the Cross shaft housing bolts, other wire is black with blue trace from other terminal on switch to a bullet connection at top of right chassis rail under drivers floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derodster Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Many thanks Western, its the bit ""where the black/blue wire goes to "" was the bit I was missing. Now to find it "at top of right chassis rail" all the best R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
