CDL Switch Installed (1 Viewer)

[CharlieS]

That has to be the easiest LC mod possible. It took me all of 5 minutes including sitting back to admire my work...

I wish they all went that quickly.

Of course, that leaves the pin 7 mod for Saturday. I imagine that one will take a few more minutes.

Anyone have a 'how to' on the CDL switch install? I don't even know where the damned thing should go.

Slee's instructions are about as easy as it gets.

Yup, that is how I did it.

My wiring harness plug wasn't wrapped in foam though. It was just taped to the side of the main harness behind the other switches.

I placed mine in the upper leftmost switch hole above the heat/ac control box. I relocated the security sensor down below the heat/ac controller since it had the longest free wires.

Got the switch from Cdan in my last order.

Thanks! Just ordered mine. I have a busy weekend ahead of me of PM and a CDL switch install!

I did the CDL switch and the cupholder all on the same weekend.

I ran my CDL switch over to the left of the column, as I liked the location on the other side. Of course, I had to extend the wires, but the switch over on the left side made more logical sense to me

I think that's a good idea. Keeps it out of the way of passengers looking for the sunroof button.

yes.. your avatar reminds me of my three who love to "drive"
In having this mod for about 1 year, I have not had a single time that the switch was accidentally depressed.

besides it is grouped with the Diff lock dial which is a similar function. makes sense.

The Pin 7 mod was a little frustrating for me. Getting the plug un-done made me wish I was one of those mongolian contortionists.

Then I ended up breaking off the wire trying to figure out how the terminal-pick works with the terminal-locking-mechanism At that point, I gave up, taped the wire up so it couldn't short, and buttoned everything up.

Can't think of a reason I would ever want to un-do this mod, so I'm not losing any sleep.

I like the idea of moving the CDL switch to the left of the steering wheel... I'll add that to my (ever-growing) list of mods

Curious if you guys have suggestions on wire routing for extending the CDL to the left side?

Where are Slee's instructions on putting it in a '91-92?

You should already have a CDL installed in a 91/92...at least I think you should. Didn't these come standard in the FJ80?

 

[alkaline747trio]

IDK, looking at a 92 for the pops, since all the other deals seem to fall through and don't see any in the pictures, but none really show where it would be well, so I was just premeditating it. Are they standard on the 91 & 92?
