Please help identify sender connection
Hi all. My chassis is supposedly a 77 or 78. My 4x4 shifter connects to this part under the truck and ther are 2 blade connectors on it. Maybe for a display that indicates if the truck is in 4x4 low, high, or 2wd mode?

Re: Please help identify sender connection
Is there a 4WD light in your instrument cluster? If it doesn't light, the missing connector could be why.

Re: Please help identify sender connection
Ok thanks. My cab is a 71. The wiring was half torn apart with lots of missing parts when I bought the truck. I took out 100% of the wiring and am almost done installing the new wiring harness. I don't yet have a dash gauge cluster put in. Where would this light have been in a stock setup? I haven't seen a wire in the new harness for it.

Re: Please help identify sender connection
The 203 transfer case made its debut IN 1973 and was in GM 1/2 and 3/4 tons trucks until 1979. Mostly behind automatics. The majority of the manual transmissions got the 205. But as always there were lots of variations

Re: Please help identify sender connection
Are you using the cluster out of a77- up truck? Because 72-67 do not have that option as far as I know.

Re: Please help identify sender connection
The location varies. I have an 84 CUCV (K30) that has the idiot light cluster. The 4WD light is one of the locations were gauges would go for a gauge setup. I have a cluster out of a square suburban that had gauges and the 4WD light was one of the smaller lights at the bottom of the cluster.
If you wind up with a non-4WD cluster, you could just add a light somewhere fed off that sender. IIRC - both of my 4WD lights were a variation on yellow. |

Re: Please help identify sender connection
I think you would need the cluster that came with the truck that originally came with the 203 transfer case. Never seen a switch on a 205 shifter. That is unless there is a knock out in all the printed circuits for this option
