What is this Sensor on the gearbox please.
Found two bare wires which had been tucked up on top of the gearbox.
They are attached to a sensor of some sort on the gearbox.
Can anyone please enlighten me?

There should also be one on the X-fer box that lights up a "4WD" indicator on the dash when the box is engaged.

I wonder if a fellow SFA Owner wouldn't mind looking to see where those wires are supposed to and if there is a clip on the end of the wires.

The wires go into the cab in the middle of the tunnel in front of the gear lever, so badically under the radio they go through the floor.
