Since I look at wiring diagrams 3 days a week ...figured I may as well see what do to leave the electric plunger in there...
Pretty simple found 20 schematics all with different wire colors so not sure which is what but the diagram at the bottom is what i used:
ground the black wire - same as my black wire
energize the (per schematic) BRN (brown) and LT BLU (light blue) - on mine yellow and purple**** i'll explain below
with those three wires connected the actuator retracts (no 4wd)
ground the BL/WHT (black/white) - mine was kinda grey/black but may just be old. when grounded it extends (4wd)

it would need to remain grounded to remain extended if that were how it was bult to work - but it seems GM disconnects the both the BL/WHT and the LT BLU when its fully extended, so youre not relying on constant closure of the relay to keep 4wd active, when you disconnect both wires the actuator stays extended but doesnt require power to do so

Buying parts is like 99% of the fun.

Speaking of parts, went to swap in the new GM headlight on the camaro last night. Fit like shit. Started tweaking and pulling, broke the damn tab off the mount. I think the mount is the issue so I'll try to swap the one over from my old headlight. Pissed me off.

Hopefully we'll wrap the car up this weekend, other than repainting hood (next few weeks on that). Truck is doing good. I think it needs more power but I logged it in IAT in the 90s and haven't had any KR. Today will get the 4th tank of 100% 93 so hopefully we can throw some timing at it and get the other stuff fixed over the weekend or next week. I got the back pressure gauge but it's still in the sealed amazon box. Last weekend we worked on the land Saturday and then did mothers day stuff on Sunday. Either do the test this weekend or next to get an answer on it.

That's how brand new parts get smashed to pieces and dumped in the trash the day they arrive on your doorstep. Been there, done that LOL

Sure pissed me off to pay what I paid for it and it fit like an eBay one. Its like the mount isn't long enough to push the headlight far enough out (gap between it and the bumper). I'm going to try to swap the bracket over from my old light. If that doesn't work, idk. Since I broke the tab, I cant really warranty return it so I'm stuck buying another and hope it works.

Just started reading your build thread, really enjoying the write up. Wow you really tackled some projects. It might take me a bit to get through this, but so far it has been worth it.
