Thanks Gene, for responding. But I'm not quite sure I follow you. Is
it that the connectors potentially faulty, so I should remove them
from the circuit?

Thanks,

*****?

The only recall showing on the NHSTA site for a 77 CJ5 is for a bad seal
in the 3 speed tranny allowing it to share fluid with the T-case which
will lead to total and sudden transmission failure.

And someone was trying to convince me a while ago that they do share
fluids... Yup right....

I would sure be running a meter across any of those plugs 'long' before
I started hard wiring any parts in. Just put it on Beep or ohms and pin
the wires on either side looking for continuity.

Especially seeing as one of the parts is not likely working.
