i'm looking for the part number of the 4WD vacuum harness that connects to the transfer case switch. mine is leaking. i've temporarily fixed it with a large zip tie that tightly clamps the harness to the switch.

for the past couple of weeks i've been searching online for a replacement but i've had zero luck. maybe i'm not searching for the right keywords? here's a photo i found online of the harness:



i called my local dealership and the guy on the phone had no idea what i was talking about. he asked for a part number (which i don't have) and then said it was "probably discontinued."

any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Im not sure of the part number but a junk yard might have what your looking for if you cant find it somewere else

 

thanks, man. yeah, i don't have a lot of great JY options around here but that may be what i'm up against.

just seems like a pretty common part and hopefully i can purchase somewhere online or at the dealer.

 

I don't have the part number, but got mine at the stealership about a year ago. Sometimes it pays to just walk in so the counter guy can get a mechanic involved who knows what the part's called.

 

Or look at the pretty pictures the parts guy can show you, and point at what you want.

 

Or look in the FAQ/DIY section and look in one of the parts manuals for the actual number! https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...s-manuals.html

 

thanks, zman. i actually DID look in the parts manual before i asked. it's not clear to me from the drawing. it may be #52078361.

i'll drive to the dealership and see if i can get someone there to find it. i'm just glad to hear that it is still available for purchase. whenever i finally do get the part, i'll report back with the actual number.

 

as a follow up, i finally went to the dealership yesterday to pick up a couple PCV valves. while i was there, i asked about this vacuum plug/harness. it took 2 guys on a computer about 20 minutes to confirm the correct part number:

52078361 HARNESS A - $27.20

the part includes the rubber 4-port harness and the complete snake of vacuum lines (red, black, gray and green). you can't just replace the rubber plug. while the zip tie clamp band-aid has worked well the past few months, i'm going to replace the harness and vac lines this weekend with the new set.

 

just put some atv sealent on the male plugs and slip it in let it dry youll have no! leaks
