I zip-tied the other connectors up out of the way so they wouldn't get damaged.Sharkfox wrote:Thanks for all the information guys.
I just bought an NP233 transfer case out of a 2000 Blazer and will be installing it with a manual shift lever in the next weekend or two. I think I have the shifter and linkage worked out but I am looking for some clarification on the wiring.
From what I can tell, you only plug in the VSS wire in the tailshaft of the transfer case. What do you do with the other connectors from the NP136? Did you end up pulling the fuse for the AWD under the hood?
I'm trying to cover all my bases ahead of time so the swap is relatively painless so any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I pulled the fuse. With it in-place, I had the "SERVICE AWD" light on and there was a relay in the dash that would cycle 4-5 times rapidly on startup, presumably trying to initialize or re-control the shift-motor that was no longer there. With it out, I have neither.
