swapped np205 4wd indicator light question

[chengny]

Do you have the wiring diagram for the NP208 4WD indication? I am working on my cab conversion on my 86 K10. My 86 didn't have a separate harness in back of the cluster for the 4WD indicator lamp. (Not that it didn't at some point over last 30 years.)

Here is a wiring diagram that I assume applies to the NP208 setup - because it includes that little lamp in the shift lever casing. The NP205 setup doesn't get that nice detail.

If you buy either of these (Airtex or Standard Motor) you'll just end up sending them back - they are for 4WD indication on a NP208 (and also back-up lights on a TH350 IIRC)

Here is the required part for the 205 - note that the contacts are switched by a plunger/rod as opposed to a ball:

Trust me on this - I was too cheap to pay $122 for a switch from q4X4. Ended up tearing mine apart and rebuilding it. That exact style is the only one that will work due to the distance of the shift rail from the casing.

But it doesn't matter anyway right - you have one.

Back from the dead - did you repair a 205 style switch ?

If so, how ?
I pulled mine out tonight and there is a little spring that was loose in the transfer case.

Did not make any difference in the light, but without the spring it seemed like the transfer shifter was locked up.

Put the spring back in and the shifter moves relatively freely again ...

Thanks!
