Can someone help me out as to which connector shown in pic in my photo album is the c283 connector? Supposedly i need to tie my wires from t-case into the light blue/black stripe wire as well as solid gray wire to get lights to function properly when manually engaging 4x4 amd 4x4 low. Can someone help me out? Sorry but cant seem to get image code to copy paste to thread.
Thanks,
Dan

After some digging i finally found some good schematics for the 97 gem. I labeled and updated photo in my album for anyone else who may be looking to do this as well.
Thanks,
Dan

Just to let everyone know, that once I turned the key on, both indicators on dash would blink constantly. So I unplugged that entire connector from the GEM module since all the wires in it are for the electronic shift controls to stop the lights from blinking on dash. Then to test out the two wires in question, I used a light testor - grounded it to metal bolt on floor - and touched each pin inside the connector of the gray wire and the blue/blk stripe wire and with key on the dash light lit up when the ground was applied to each one. Just have to run wires down to the transfer case harness now.
