Derek - glad you found it interesting.  I am currently trying to sort out the
diff locks and having a lot of fun.  I can't get my front diff indicator to
flash due to low vacuum, but it works if I suck the pipe to the switch.
Wiring is very simple, there is aslo a tiny PCB which provides the flashing.
If you ever need any part numbers or parts let me know as my local dealer lets
me look at his microfiche!  If you are interested I could copy the bits in the
owner's handbook about the use and operation of the front diff locks and get
it to you by some means. Cheers!
