Digging around more, the 231 uses a reed switch, the 241 is "VSS" so yea the dakota digital looks like the answer.
The 91 is a weird one off screwball.
The reed switch setup was only used in 91s and early 92s.
It is a 2 wire setup, the ECU supplies 5V to the reed switch, the "return" wire goes to sensor ground.
The reed switch makes/breaks this circuit, which the ECU and Speedo in turn interpret as the speed the vehicle is moving.
The 241OR has a hall effect sensor for speed, 3 wires, 5V + ground and a three notches in the output shaft of the transfer case results in a signal being delivered to the third wire which returns to the ECU and speedo.
In other words its a 3 wire system with a ground plus out an back legs.
The 91MJ is wired for a out only (power to the speedo is split off at the G7 splice). No amount of tweaking the signal post hall effect is going to have any effect on the speedo/ECU as they are looking at the constant 5V on the up side of the sensor.
I think I can make the speedo work but not supply any info back to the ECU. Of course that will result in a check engine light (its the map sensor telling the ECU the engine is under a load without a speed input) and stalling at stop lights.
I am thinking about making a disc to press onto the transfer case output yoke (there is room), three magnets attached to the disc and a reed switch. I should have in signal for the ECU and speedo.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
