I broke a Electrical Connector/switch on the top rear of my transfer Case - Source for a new one??

[Damcowboy]

Guys, while removing the rear section of my transfer case on my '97 FZJ80 to eliminate the viscous Coupler, the case section fell over and broke a switch (I think that's what it is, it looks like it might be the indicator if the locker actuator is engaged, maybe?). I couldn't get an arrow on the picture below but if you look at the flange that connects to the rear drive shaft at the top of the picture, below the flange and slightly to the right you see 2 grey electrical connection sockets, sort of facing away from each other in a Y shape (to the left of the yellow tag). I broke the one on the left closest to the flange.

This is a picture of the connector/switch

Does anyone know what this part is called, what it does, and where do I get a replacement?

I'm so pissed, I would be done removing the viscous coupler and re-installing everything if I hadn't broke the connector!!

I thing I found it on another thread:

Replacement for 84222-12010 switch

As you know the 84222-12010 fails pretty often on our trucks. Its located on the transfer case, as well as the lockers, and causes the indicator on the dash to blink even when they're working. I recently had the one on the rear locker fail on mine and wanted a cheaper alternative than 60 bucks...

Land Cruiser Trivia! Which of these switches is the 4wd indicator?

Which one of these is the L4 indicator switch A or B? (Note: I am not looking for the 4WD Indicator switch, I already know where that is..sorry about the misleading title of this thread, just testing ya...). Also whichever one isn't the L4 indicator, what is it for? Thanks in advance!

those are readily available either OEM or aftermarket

the one below is a Tridon brand and about AU$30

I think I have a brand new OEM one in my toolbox. PM me if you still need one.

Thanks, but I think I’m good. I bought one of the alternates listed in the other threads above. I havent driven the FJ yet (U joint meeds replacing as well) so I dont know its going to work for sure but given what the other guys are saying I’m sure it’ll be fine.

OP...Picture 1 appears to be the TransferCase to a 100 series. No VC in a 100 series transfer case.

That may be, I just looked on the internet for a good picture, it sure looks like mine. Since my original post I have removed the rear section of the transfer case, taken out the VC, and re-assembled everything. It seems to work great now.

Probably best if you call her "80". The other word seems to conjure up some bad vibes in this forum
