Ignition switch wireing '98 3RZ
« on: Mar 12, 2012, 12:15:41 PM »
I know I should search for this but I wouldn't know where to start... 

I am swaping a '98 3RZ into my 4Runner using all of the '98 harness.  I morphed the two columns together to use the '98 wheel and electical guts in the '89 4Runner dash so all that plugs in.  I had to remove the keyed switch off the '98 column to make everything work.  After spending a few years in a shed the plug to the keyed switch is all busted up. It doesn't really fit anywhere in the '89 dash anyway so I am planning to use a 4 position marine keyed switch...

Here is my question:  The Toyota switch on the '98 harness has 6 pins and all the marine switches seem to have 4 connections.  I'm sure this would work as several of the connections on the Toyota wireing must be ignition hot, etc, but what goes where?

Does anyone have this part of a factory wireing diagram or personal knowledge of what wires need what?

I think I've got it figured out.

From what I can tell (and what a buddy help me decypher from a diagram) there are two 12V supply wires that can't be mixed together, so I will need a toggle on top of the aftermarket ign switch...

I have two '98 factory wiring diagram books.  I am doing the swap into an '84 pickup and I have an extra manual if you're interested.

If anyone is interested, make an offer....

I kind of am but I'm out of $$ at the moment. Maybe in a week or two.

That would be great!  Here is my wish list at this time:

At this time I am really interested in the detail of the wires that go to the fuel pump and fuel sending unit, also the vehicle speed sensor wireing.  The heater wireing would be nice as I'm grafting the '98 harness to the '89 heater, and the rear window stuff so I can figure out that as well. All these are situations where I am splicing the '98 harness to the '89 bits.  The '89 stuff is pretty self explanitiry but the '98 is a little mysterious as I don't have the doner truck to look at.

Any help is greatly appreciated, if you have the time of course.

I will send this as a PM with my e-mail in it as well.
