    No problem, I considered doing this years ago and never got around to it. Seems like a great mod with a very detailed how-to. Hopefully the ECU pins aren't different on the VX vs. 02 Trooper.

    Does anyone have a clue as to how one would wire in a 4wd button out of a Trooper, into our VX? I have a transfer case that has the chain skipping teeth and im trying to prevent further wear and tear until the weather clears to swap the case. I understand I can disconnect it manually but I want this button just in case and so that I can put manual hubs on later.

    If you are just trying to force the TOD in 2wd mode you put a switch inline with the light blue wire at your TOD ECU. The switch brakes the connection and you have 2wd restore the connection and restart the VX and TOD is restored. You will get a fault flashing on the TOD display unless you do the resistor mod.

    If simply disabling the TOD for a while is the real goal...

    .... simply unplug it underneath the passenger seat.

    Pull out both grey multi connectors .... and TOD is off.

    No I want to make it 50/50 ratio all time when I want it to. However I'm going to do a 5speed swap from a 98 trooper.
