Hey, so long story short my 3 button 4WD switch was out of it's casing and it happened to contact some metal and short out. I am going to get a new one however in the meantime does anyone know a way to wire in a temporary switch that I can toggle between 2 and 4Hi? Or a way besides the switch to lock the transfer case into 4wd mode? Just looking for something to get me by for awhile as we have a ton of snow here at the moment.

My Switch: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...061053&jsn=684

The buttons on the switch itself do not seem like a toggle, however the switch circuit could convert the interrupt switch into a toggle, I have not taken a really close look at it. Was hoping someone had experience with this already!

Thanks

 

I completely replaced my 4wd switch with a set of momentary toggle switches. I have some pics of it in my "auxiliary switch panel" thead. Also, I posted a pic of the wiring diagram in a different thread. Think is was called "4wd switch diagram" something like that.

The 4wd switch is just a momentary toggle, with some lights in it Super simple. You might be able to rig up a cheap switch just to get you by until you replace it

Edit: here's the wiring diagram. Mine is a 95 three button switch as well

Awesome, thank you. Lots of good information. So if I want to keep the transfer case in 4Hi all the time I can just touch the gry/blk and pnk wires and it will kick it into 4hi?
Edit: Also I assume me shorting the board could have blown a fuse, any idea where those fuses in the top of the diagram are?

 

I believe all that is required is a momentary contact to trigger the TCCM. Wiring it direct would be like holding the button in all the time. I would think it would stay in whatever mode you last left it in. But I never have run a three-button system. Just looking at the wiring diagram. Those fuses probably in the left side of dash behind panel.

 

Fuses should be in the fuse panel, open the driver door, and it's on the side of the dash.

All you'll need to do is touch the appropriate wires together, and it will stay in that position.
