Are you really sure the wiring isn't there? For the diff lock
indicator lamp, if it isn't hooked up, they often leave the connector
in the left rear well (up behind the pillar, where you can't easily
see it, but where you could confuse it with the gas tank sending unit
wiring.)

Up in the front the connector for the front diff lock is left in the
middle of the vehicle, easy to find, but that in the back is well
hidden if it isn't used.
