LandyManLuke Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Howdy, Can someone tell me what the electrical connections on a ZF auto box are? I'm guessing there's inhibit/park, and a reverse switch. Is there anything else? What is the pinout for the plug, or the wire colours? I'm trying to do some research before I have to crawl under a muddy challenge truck (with a belly plate) with a multi-meter. Thanks, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 found these with the Discovery RAVE manual for auto trans gear selector illumination gear selector interlock start inhibit/reverse switch park/neutral position switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 were those meant to be links Ralph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 nope just a list of autobox elect connections from what I found in my RAVE CD. the elect section for Disco auto isn't very user friendly, it's not drawn as a normal wiring diagram, more of a block diagram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks Ralph, Any more info on 'gear selector interlock' on Rave? Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 only these from the workshop manual section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 I didn't realise there was anything on the selector, I thought all the switches were in the gearbox? Does anything refer to the Neutral/Park and Reverse switches coming out of the gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 it'll take me a while to find more info, the elect section is full of block diagrams & photo's for component location, might be quicker if you dowload RAVE to your PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If it's a normal hydraulic ZF then it has 4 wires going to it through a single 4 way connector. The wires are arranged in pairs, which are connected to 2 switches in the gearbox. One pair of wires will be connected together when the gearbox is in reverse (reverse light), one pair of wires will be connected together when the gearbox is in park or neutral (start inhibit). No idea what the colours are I'm afraid but very simple to figure out which is which with a multimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks Dave, that should have me sorted tomorrow when I'm on my back underneath it trying not to get completely covered in mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
