Wiring:

As I said previously, I bought the complete loom with ECU, transponder and key barrel with the engine.

(At this stage I will just mention that we are three brothers and we were doing similar transplants on three Pajeros - 2 Gen1s and one Gen2 SWB).

We got hold of the factory wiring diagram (?800 pages in all!). Without this it would have taken more knowledge than what we had to get the wiring done. I have had it scanned, so .... ).

I have to give credit to my older brother, who took the sorting out of the electrics & electronics on his shoulders.

Many of the functions controlled by the ECU had to be disabled / removed eg Traction control. My bother split both looms (existing and new) and combined the two into a work of art! It does not look back-yard at all, but the same as all the work we did, as if it was done in the factory.

To me this is the most crucial part of the transplant (I suppose because I had very little part to play in it).

The pictures show the work in progress:
