I'm hoping that someone this forum has lockers on a FJ80, and that person if able, can take a picture of their rear locking diff wiring harness where it enters the chasis.

Here's my nightmare thread:

https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/202169-rth-rear-dif-wiring-harness-frame-location.html

Feel free to help out and like I said in the thread a picture is worth a thousand posts.

Thanks,
John

maybe PM CJBury, he's got the 80 lockers....

John,
I could be wrong here, but I read some of those theads and I was always under the impression that you need to fabricate that rear harness.... no?

My 95 has lockers. I can see about getting a pic this week--I'll try to bring the truck to work one of these days.

Would that help? Would give me an excuse to clean my throttle body, anyway.

I assume you'd like this sooner than later?

 

[CJBury]

I will try to get you a pic tomorrow. Don't feel like climbing under the rig in the rain.

Someday I will be as manly as Sean.;p

 

[Straydog]

One could only hope.

 

[Lugboot]

I've already given up on that. Sean's the apotheosis of manly.

Chris--if you don't get the pics before, I'll bring my truck to work Thursday to snap a couple in the garage. I don't feel like crawling under it in the dirt and snow and the ice and the mud at home.

Pics

I hope these are what you're looking for.
1. is the rear quarter--you can see the drain sticking out.
2. is along the frame rail from the rear quarter.
3. is inside the fender well--you can see the harness thru the crack.

Last pic. the harness coming off the diff and up the upper control arm to the frame. you can see the companion flange at the bottom of the pic.

Thanks Brett, now I don't have to get dirty.

Thanks Brett, now I don't have to get dirty.

I was only thinking of you, dude.

Wow, in the salt much? My trucks almost ten years older and dosent look half as bad.

FINALLY! A picture.

Yes a wiring harness must fabricated once the actuator harness makes inside. On all FJ80 trucks there is a way to penetrate the truck through an existing harness and it is this harness I am trying to find.

I have to plugs/connectors (from the actuator harness) that have to hook up to something outside and in the back of the truck - I just couldn't find the connection. I think this picture finally shows where to look for those connections.

Thank You!

 

[CJBury]

Glad you finally got the pic you needed. Maybe you should link the pics to the 80 thread so they know what you were talking about.
"The land of Frank Rizzo" That's an old name. My mom knew him back in the late 60's. She work in the ER at misracordia in Philly. From the stories it was a pretty crazy time.

Yeah, lesson learned. . . never buy a Montana truck. Holy shee-ut.

No new updates on this situation, I wanted to find an existing wiring harness in a junk yard but most of those folks will pull the axles out of the truck and then sell the truck for scrap. I have a couple of guys on the main board running things down for me, but they are not really in a hurry to get the parts to me. One of these days the locked 80 will lock. Its been a long road.

Here's a site that might be of assistance:

Is it not possible to use the FSM diagram to make a harness... it's still wire and connection, relay, maybe a solenoid.... have someone trace the wires and draw a diagram and copy it.
