tommi Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi all Some time ago I fitted a replacement transferbox in my Defender - it's been off the road for quite a while now. It's been so long since I did it I can't remember what the deal was with the diff lock switch wiring. On the right hand chassis member I have the following: A two pin connector, and a single blue cable with a spade connection on the end of it. Assuming this is factory, does anybody know what's what? Logic would say the two pin connector is the diff lock switch loom? Any help is gratefully received - save me having to roll around in the cold with a multimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help western - had a better look at it and the single cable is actually black / blue and has a bullet connector - much appreciated. No idea what the other connector is for thou!

sean f Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not the reverse light switch wiring is it?. Typically a two wire connection on the back of the gearbox but would quite likely be removed to clear the way when changing a transfer box.

tommi Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 you haven't posted what the colours are in the 2 pin connector, One of the wires is red & blue, the other is black as far as I can tell. Not the reverse light switch wiring is it?.Typically a two wire connection on the back of the gearbox but would quite likely be removed to clear the way when changing a transfer box. No, definitely not the reverse switch. Seems to be part of the original loom, but everything I can think of is connected up and working...

western Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 red/blue trace is rear number plate light & LH tail light & LH front side light -- do yours work ? if not now you know why plain black wire is an earth blue/red trace goes from fuse box to ign switch doubt it's this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vehicle is ex-waterboard - it does have a couple of switches / holes in roof where rotating beacons were presumably fitted, but can't see a logical reason for a connector in that location...

western Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I made a error, misread my wiring colour code. can't find a 2pin connector with red/blue [RU] wire & a plain black on my diagram only the blue/red [uR] on petrol models there is a 2 pin connection with a plain blue & a plain red for electronic distributor, not used in diesel models. rear number plate/LH tail & side light is red/black, apologies for my foul up. can you add a photo of the 2 pin connector ?
