Help Needed! Neutral Safety Switch Wiring

[4Runner-Dan]

Hey Everyone!

Have a quick question and need a bit of help. I replaced the transmission in my 4Runner (96, 4WD, Locker) and during the extraction, the wiring to what I believe is the neutral safety switch ripped right out of the connector. It was clean break, fortunately. The wires we're stretched and they broke free of the weatherpack connector. I don't remember/know where they go!


I pulled another connector from a different truck (97) and I believe the wiring/pin-out is completely different. Super frustrating....

I've also looked at factory wiring diagrams and can't seem to make heads or tails of it.

Attached is pic of the connector I got from the 97 (for reference).


Would anyone with a 96 be able to get a pic of their connector pinout for me? Or have another connector with some wiring still attached that I can buy from them????

Thanks!

OK. Look at the attached '96 EWD. The pin-out is Plug P1 on the last page. That shows which number goes with which pins. Then look at top of page 115. Park/Neutral switch is right there. That shows what color wires go with which pin numbers and where they go. Easy Peasey.

Ask questions if you need to. I can help you order replacement repair wires (pin/wire combos) or connector housing if you need it.

Thanks Durk! Appreciate the help. I was able to figure it out with that wiring diagram you posted! There are two extra wires that aren't on the diagram; a black w/white stripe and solid black. I assume they're grounds. Took a guess and wired them to the corresponding ones on my harness. Everything is back together and drove perfectly w/o any codes! :thumb:

Yeah, those wires correspond to the two dots which indicate pins used but on another circuit. Without knowing what circuit they are on, I'd have to page through the whole book and find another occurrence of P1. Glad I didn't have to do that.
