Okie dokie, here we go-
91 k1500, 2017 L83 Gen V swap with 6l80 and NQH tcase swapped in.
The tcase is controlled with a SwapTime retrofit harness and reprogrammed module. The module does not have any provisions for controlling the front axle.
The L83 is controlled via a reprogrammed stock ECM. There are no provisions on the wire-deleted harness.
I am giving the 91 engine harness a wire diet, removing unnecessary wires from the harness. I have the wiring diagrams for the 91 tcase and front axle, so I know the basics for the stock control.
Question 1: can I wire the actuator to 12v on a switch and get 4wd when the tcase is in 4wd, pr does the solenoid also need to be wired in? From what I can see in the diagrams, the actuator should engage the differential regardless of the solenoid, correct?
The solenoid operates the indicator lights and sends a signal to the abs to shut down abs operation, does it do anything else?
Question 2: the diagrams I have show the actuator to have a light blue wire and a black wire. The black wire looks to be a ground, the light blue a +12v wire. My actuator plug seems to just have 2 black wires only, are these interchangeable, or polarity-specific?
I am planning on keeping ABS at this time, but that could change. I am trying to figure out how to trigger the front axle off the 2017 tcase module, but I am not sure if I can with the module I have, waiting to hear from the guy that made it.
I would greatly appreciate any input you guys may have for me. Thanks in advance!
