Heck of a mod man!
Heck of a mod man!
I hope to have the wring completed this weekend. I plan on putting the transfer-case in the back of the XK and just wiring it in before actually swapping in it. I can then check out my wiring and programming before the actual install. Installation is planned the weekend of the 19th if all goes well.
Keep in mind, I'm working on this slowly, a couple hours here a couple there.

Another step closer. Under the rear seats of the Commander there are to small areas covered by a carpeted lid. On the driver side is were the FDCM and Parking Control Module would go. On the passenger side, mine is empty and it provides a perfect place to mount the relays and voltage regulators. Next step is to ground the panel, provide power and final connecting of the wires to the controller under the dash.

cmdr jim ...
Wow.. the transmission work you are doing is way over my head, but if it is anything like your wiring job it should turn turn out great. I tinker as an amateur with my own wiring. I can appreciate all the time you put in and the professional wiring work you do. Keep up the good work..

If you all remember way back, I was lulled into the idea a Jeep dealer or Jeep itself could upgrade my QT1 to QT2. I was collecting all the parts to do so. even to the point of swapping out the mid underframe wiring harness.
Of course the Jeep Dealer or Jeep didn't happen. And that why I'm here.
Moving forward. with that new wiring harness, there are connections under my rear seat for the FDCM and under the Jeep the connection for the Transfercase Motor. Yes you guessed it, I spliced into the wiring harness under my rear seat. This gives me all connections inside the jeep.
However, if someone else were to do this, there is a large grommet under that same area under the rear seat, wires can be brought up through that grommet and sealed. You could find a junk yard WK or XK with QT2 or QD2 and get the Transfercase motor connection from one of them. Or worst case buy a repair splice-in connector from Jeep. Part Number #68040504AA

I have the transfercase in my Jeep!
Well, technically it's in the Jeep, in the back cargo area
But it's all hooked up electrically and functioning just like it did when I was bench testing.
So that means the electronics wired into the Jeep work!
