SILVER Star
Any help on electrical appreciated.
Background
Just completed an H55 swap on my FJ62, It still has the original vacuum operated transfer case. We can start and drive.
Admission:
We mis-wired on our first attempt and blew the wiper motor fuse. Our “expert” assistant” jumped it the fuse as he was was testing and we melted a wire on the passenger side footwell. Right below a switch I’ll cover below. We caught it quickly but I have a feeling this has something to do with our transfer case not activsting.
What we have confirmed:
We have vacuum and even tried reversing the two vacuum ports with zero effect.
We do not have any weird noises in the transfer case, it just doesn't react at all.
We cannot get the transfer case 4WD indicator to set off the 4wd light in the dash. We pulled it out, while attached to its harness and powered and manually pushed the ball to activate it. Nothing. We pulled it out and off the wiring harness and tested on the workbench and the switch is good.
My assumption is that we either:
A) Still have an electrical mis-wire
B) We blew the transmission switch located in the passenger footwell.
C) Other?

Any advice appreciated.
