bring back the 4x4 diff lock light!

One of the many advantages of the soft dash RRC, is the similarity with the Disco, in this case, when doing the LT swap, you can use the light in the instrument binnacle to make it look stock.

I have gather some of the relevant circuits from RAVE and here are some pics of the process.

You would need to make a metallic clip of sorts to attach the cable on pin #6 since it is empty (way to go LR saving all of 0.1 dollars on that)

As we can see, from the +V goes to key switch, then fuse, then instruments all the way down to ground.



The connector on the Disco has the pin 6 enabled, the RRC has it empty


Here it is:


It connects into this PCB style connector:


It even has the bulb (black one between the blue and black):

So I made some sort of clip from a connector I had around and attached a cable to it (labeled for later identification, since I will forget what the hell this is :) :

And before calling it done, I did a quick test, ran the cable to ground point (ZF box), battery connected back, key ignition and "voila!"
