E Locker ECU
I just got back from the wreck-yard with a rear E-locker (1998, 4.30) and a front third (1992, 4.30 to match),...$300. With the rear third I grabbed the rear harness and the ECU at the drivers' kickpanel. I followed all the wires up to this box, so I am 90% sure this is what controls the E-locker.
I have searched everywhere for info on this 1998 4runner ECU, and can't find anything.
Can anyone help me identify it, and some of the 19 wires going into it?
Thanks.
I will follow-up with a write-up on the install.

I am sure that some of the 19 wires go to speedometer, 4Lo circuit, etc, which I will not hook up, but looking at the wire colors coming from the diff harness, only one seems to be present in this ECU harness, Blue-yellow.
There is a Gr wire thicker than all the rest on the end, I assume that is power IN. Everything else,...I have no idea.

It seems that every write up, guys have a black cased ECU for the locker with only 8 or 10 leads. Mine has 19, and a different part# that what I see listed in peoples' materials lists. Mine is part# 89533-35150.

The "ECU" for my swap was black and labeled "ABS." It's actually a relay box if I am not mistaken. Anyway, it looks like what you grabbed is the ECU for the push-button 4WD. Unless you go homemade or aftermarket, I am pretty sure the black box is what you are going to need...

There was another box on the passenger side labeled ABS, but it was nearly identical in construction, color, bracket, etc, as the one I grabbed out of the drivers' side. In other words, I looked all around the kickpanels for a black box, and didn't see anything.

Because it's nice to have feedback on whether it's locked or not, and you can't just turn the solenoid on because it will overheat by trying to run all of the time. If you go with a relay, you have to use a set up like the one laid out in Bob_98SR5's thread about an e-locker retrofit.
