Help with switch?

[Ghost]

Ok i doubt my truck has the capability of 4x4 but anyways i have this port here with this wire harness and plug.
Here's what it looks like:

The front of the cover has a picture of some scenery with TrailBlazer on it. yes i had drilled holes in i was in a hole drilling mood )


here's what i am finding on eBay is this the correct one?:

DORMAN 901-064 Switch, Four Wheel Drive | eBay

So what is this switch called and help me find the right one please?

I have to ask: Are you trying to fool people into thinking you have four wheel drive?

That would be a good spot for a trans temp or real oil pressure gauge.

haha! na just would feel better if there was something there other than a silly cover with a scenery and since it has holes in it i might as well put something in its place.
IS there inexpensive kits to install those other types your talking about?

Yeah, I have that same connector behind my panel too, but 2WD for me...

Also a good spot for the control buttons for a DIC cluster upgrade so you don't have to replace your steering wheel

oh my! love the blue cluster and buttons but i think I'd benefit more from a VOLT meter or something useful i don't use the Stereo much only when i am not on VHF or UHF rag chewing.

However i do have a question about that cluster. how did you get one with telling you MPG or oil life etc etc..? is it just plug and play?
I really like this: View attachment 22123

The DIC clusters are plug and play, although you will have to get the mileage reprogrammed to match the mileage of your original one. It's kinda pricey, found a local speedometer repair place here did it for $125. Bought the cluster used off Ebay for $60 at the time. The RPO code is U68 IIRC If you don't switch out your steering wheel for one with the DIC control buttons and clockspring, you'll have to make your own control buttons like I did.

Alright back on topic...anyone know what the plug is for in my photos ?

It is for the 4x4 switch I'm about positive. They used the same harness in the truck, 4x4 or not. That's also why all our fuse boxes are full even though we don't have every possible option on our trucks.

Plugging in a 4x4 switch won't do anything without also getting the entire 4x4 drivetrain and programming your computer for 4x4 and... yeah, if you want 4x4 just buy a 4x4 equipped truck

Our trucks already have a volt meter in the dash, granted it is a little lazy and not precise but we have one that actually does work (unlike the oil pressure "gauge" ). If I was to put a gauge there I'd put a trans temp or a real oil PSI gauge in.

Thanks Sparky. I'll start looking around for a trans temp gauge hope it isn't a total pita to install:thumbup:
I like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVO-VOLT-Gauge-Prosport-Gauges-Green-and-White-52mm-2-1-16-216EVOWGVO-/200799859416 even tho its a voltage gauge I operate several radios so its key important I know what my battery is at.

If you're willing to drop $65 on a single gauge, you might as well spend the extra money on something like a Scangauge II and have almost every gauge you would need, plus the ability to read/clear trouble codes when your check engine light comes on.

Edit: You can also change the display to a bunch of different colors

Hi. Your right. I dig the scangauge ! Haven't bought one just yet. I did just buy a 60mm volt gauge for 10$ at the local swapmeet it isn't no aem or brand name but it'll work for now. Just have to find time to install it I am procrastinator lol I think most hams are :banghead:

 

[Ghost]

$9 gauge from eBay.

Wired to the dim switch as well. My only complaint is it says 12v when really truck is running its 14.8vcd. Maybe thats the down side of a cheap gauge. But I am totally digging it.

 

[Sparky]

Probably because most people are dummies and think their vehicle runs at 12V at all times

Tmrw ill take the gauge apart. See why its reading 12 which is inaccurate
