Rocklobster transfer box in a VVT

I don't have the VVT diagrams with me at work but I do have them at home. I would guess that, if they have not been disconnected, the switches on the dashboard connect to the 4WD controller under the dash by the drivers right knee. This module then takes the inputs from the transfer box and hubs, telling the controller what state the 4WD is in.

You will probably have two choices.

1. Remove the controller and wiring from the circuit and get the transfer box to light the lamps directly. The switch in the transfer box "grounds" the circuit when in 4WD so just run a +ve through the lamp to the transfer box.

2. Wire the transfer box up to the existing controller. I would guess that it is pretty much the same, possibly needing a fake feed to the 4WD controller to "confirm" that the electric motor in the transfer box you no longer have has functioned correctly.

I have now managed to look at the circuit diagrams. Its not quite as simple as I described as there is a new, additional unit called the Transfer Controller added into the equation.

I also do not have VVT Jimny experience to know what should be lit and when.

The diagram appears to show 4WD and 4WD-L lights in the dashboard itself (with the speedo etc.) - is this correct?

These are fed with a live feed and "grounded" by the controller. The wires needed are the RED/White and RED/Blue ones going to connecter E147 on the Transfer Controller - this also appears to be under the dashboard near the drivers right knee together with the 4WD controller.

It appears ok just to remove these wires and wire them into the SJ Transfer box as the manual suggests that "grounding" the wires is a test for the bulbs anyway.
