Part number for CDL switch?

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Did a search and the number I found (#84725-60040) came up as the Diff Lock switch on my part's guy's computer


I was just on the phone with Dan and he was getting slammed, so I rushed my start contact order and forgot to ask for the PN on the CDL switch



Anyhoo, anyone have the correct PN for a 97 TLC?

That's the correct part number for the newer style dash layout. Should be described as 'switch, centre differential lock' on the parts guys screen.

He's faxing it over right now so I can see what he's lookin at....

 

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Hmm, the printout he just sent shows 84725A for the rotary Locker Switch and 84725/84725B for the Center Diff switch, however, the switch pictured looks angled like the older CDL switches

The older style CDL is definately 84725-60010 and the newer one 84725-60040 (84725B is a bulb BTW). On the EPC I have they use the same picture for both (just checkd with a 94 VIN and a 97 VIN). I've used both part numbers and got the switch I expected

The rotary axle lock switch (84725A) is 84725-60020 for old and new.

...and the newer one 84725-60040

Just yet further confirmation - I have my CDan invoice in hand for the later model style center diff lock switch sitting in my garage and the part # is most definitely the one above

 

[98 SNAKE EATER]

OK, here's the fax he sent me:

Odd how both the rotary knob and CDL have the same part number


He went ahead and ordered it for me, so we'll find out for sure by tomorrow

Those are not part numbers and they are not the same. They are Part Name Codes and they point to the appropriate part of the text to look up the part number by application.

The PNC for the center lock switch is 84725 and the F/R switch is 84725A.

US catalogs do not show the 95-up center switch because it was never used in this market.

84725-60040 is correct for 95-97 and it aint in the catalog.

Thanx for clearing that up, Dan

Switch came in last night and looks correct


Now, quick question about the install (I got overkill on the search)


If I install it on one of the lower slots (next to the rear heat switch), will the prewired plug reach or will I have to extend the wires






Rick

 

[98 SNAKE EATER]

OK, I guess I answered my own question lol


Tore her open to install the switch and the wires weren't long enough to reach lower slots

It looked as if it would barely make it if I unwrapped all of the electrical tape, but I always like a little slack in my wiring, so I ended up extending the wires a few inches

Gunna do the 7-Pin mod tomorrow while the bird is in the oven ;p

Had some other projects over the weekend and wasn't able to get to the 7-pin mod until today, but now I'm kicking myself for not doing it soon enough


This mod is a MUST!!



Now I can make tight turns in Low Range without binding up the drivetrain

I just did this mod myself last week and agree it is worth it big time!
