<< VOILA!!! Thanks to the listers who helped me with the wiring. Putting it
in 3rd gear did it! I now have fire to the solenoid. One more
question........it would not lift the lever on the side of the
transmission/overdrive. I take it that the overdrive needs to be
running/pressurized to do that? The solenoid is new. Just wanna make sure
it will work before I put cover ect back on. thanks >>
Careful here - energizing the solenoid without it jumping up into the top of
travel is risky. There are actually 2 coils in the thing, 1 strong one to pull
it up and a weaker "holding" one. The strong coil is disconnected by an
internal switch at the top of travel, and if left on will fry itself rather
quickly. Try jumping the solenoid and if it clicks up I would suspect the
relay and/or connections. The pressure of the unit has little to do with this.
Also make sure the isolator switch works in 4th as well as 3rd.
