Can you make your font size a little smaller to make it easier to read? Thanks.

I assume you are looking at the dash control itself. There is a dash control, and computer module, and then the switch/motor mechanism on the transfer case.

The only wires that I can find that somewhat match your description are on the "shift control switch".

Lightblue/red- is power for the dash light in the switch

Darkblue, orange/lightblue, white/lightblue, and also a brown/white, and a grey all go from the switch to the "electronic shift control module". This is the brain that controls the whole system.

[/B] there is a connector for 8 wires, 5 of which the wires are connected. I need to know which wires go into the other three holes.

The only way I know to figure it out is to do continuity test through the switch.

With the switch in "HI", the red/yellow will be connected to the darkblue, and the black will be connected to the grey.

With the switch in the middle position(I assume this is 2wd?), the red/yellow will be connected to the white/lightblue.

With the switch in "LOW", the re/yellow will be connected to the orange/lightblue, and the black will be connected to the brown/white.

I assume this is 2wd?
If you are referring to the statement above that I made in my post, I meant that the wiring diagram shows the switch to be 3 position. 2 of the positions are labeled Hi and Low, and the middle position was not labeled at all, so I was assuming in this position, the vehicle was in 2wd.

I also assumed when you stated your original problem, that "shift control" meant your 4wd switch. If your vehicle is 2wd, then you need to explain what a "shift control" is.

Thanks Everyone For No Help. I Went To My Neighbors Who Also Has A 93 And Checked His Wiring. I Just Thought This Would Be Quicker But No One Came Up With The Right Answer In Four Days So Why Wait Any Longer
