JZX90 / JZX100 Auto to Manual Geabox Connector Pinouts
If you are making your own sub-harness or re-wiring the body loom it may be useful to refer to the pinouts below as there are four combinations of wiring schemes and housings used on the A34X gearbox used in the JZX90 and JZX100 Tourer V models. The changeover point between the two types is the JZX100 Series 2 (08.1998 - 06.2001). Both connectors are 9 position however the housings are different configurations.
Regardless of year or variant, the same basic elements are required:
- Start A and Start B positions are connected to satisfy the auto ECU gearbox position start requirements
- Switched 12V Power is connected to Second gear as mapping appears to be gear dependent
- Switched 12V Power and Reverse are connected to the R154 reverse switch (not polarity sensitive)

At Connector-Tech ALS we specialise in harsh environment connector solutions for 4WD applications. A customer recently brought their Ford Ranger to our sales centre where we added the finishing touches to a stealth Runva Winches winch install using a Front Runner winch plate.
We used cable toughening, boots, heat shrink and Anderson connectors to complete a tidy setup that hides behind the number plate.
PMA nylon braid was used to protect the cabling running from the battery to the isolator switch mounted to the radiator support. This switch was included with the Runva Winch kit.
The braid continues down to the stealth winch location in front of the intercooler on the Ford Ranger. The polyamide material offers high temperature stability which is critical in close proximity to a heat exchanger.
The finished winch install is completely hidden behind the number plate when it is in place. A flip up number plate holder will be the next addition.

The well-known repository of all-things aesthetically pleasing in the automotive world Speedhunters, posted an article on the most recent in long line of 'final versions' of the Pagani Zonda: the Revolucion. You can view the original piece here.
Amongst the typically stunning images from Dino Dalle Carbonare and Bryn Musselwhite we noticed something in an interior shot of the USD2.8 million hypercar that immediately grabbed our attention: a $3 Anderson connector.
The image above is cropped from the original by Bryn Musselwhite to highlight the Anderson SB50 connector. Here the connector is used to quickly attach a trickle charger to the car's battery without the need for the rear cowl to be removed. You can also see a pair of Souriau Motorsport connectors sharing the bespoke aluminium mounting plate.
Even on a money-is-no-object build, the simplicity and reliability of Anderson's ubiquitous connectors make them the best solution for two-pole automotive battery connections.
More information on the Anderson Power Products range of single-pole and multi-pole connectors is available here.
