Yeah... got mine to work... also have switches installed for E lockers that will turn off when you use the 2wd low switch (lockers wont engage in 2wd low...)
I didnt do the work myself, but it involves 3 relays and the black wire off the 4wd module; can let you know the auto elec if you are interested
What I would like to work out is how you can automatically turn off the traction control when you engage the lockers without having to hold your finger on the button for several seconds... that will be up to the electricians to work out.

There is a thread about turning off the ESC/TRAC/ABS module (with appropriate warnings). Simple on/off on one wire. No need for complicated setups connecting the on/off to other functions.

No-one has done a step by step guide on it to my knowledge.
However all you need to do is.....
1, Remove the glove box and locate the 4WD ECU, located on the LHS of the glovebox and mounted on the side of a supporting metal structure of RHD vehicles. It has a green plug going into it.
2, To test you have the correct ECU disconnect the plug and then engage 4WD, with the ignition on no 4WD light should be on.
3, On the green plug there are six (6) wires coming out of it. Locate the black wire, check my shed profile and have a look at the photo of the plug and the wire in question.
4, Cut the black wire, solder two lengths of wire (a few feet long, or long enough to reach your desired switch position), one to each cut end then connect the lengths of wire to a switch to complete the circuit.
5, Fit the switch in your desired position. Replace the glovebox.
6, Hey presto you now have a manually disconnectable front differential.
Hope this helps if not them PM me and I will send you some more detailed info.
Cheers,
Steve.

Or is the switch only used to prevent the ADD from closing? Wat hapens if you put it in 4H and thereafter disconnect the wire? would the light go off on the dash whilst the ADD stays on??? sounds tricky.

I have now had the switch fitted since August 2008 without fault, the only issue I have had was getting stuck and forgetting to flick the switch to engage 4WD, then subsequently murdering the car to get unstuck in 2WD. :LOL: i realised as soon as I then went to move the lever from H4 to H2. Dumb mistake.
Batman wrote:xychix wrote:The signal for 4WD engagement is stopped from getting to the 4WD computer module, with out that signal the computer doesn't know 4WD is engaged and won't light up any 4WD indicators or engage the ADD. By selecting either L4 or H4 the ADD can be turned on and off via the ADD switch.

Brilliant option on the straight bit of the boat ramp. 2wd/low/locked is a great option to have. (Always provided that the operator uses their brain )
