<p>I'm too lazy to drag out the schematic, but Steve's comment begs
the question--to me, at least--is the throttle 'kickdown' switch
wired bass-ackwards?</p>
<p>Also, since most of us are 'of a generation,' tip a bottle of
your favorite brew to Walter Becker today. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet
MS","sans-serif"">After installing the new
wiring harness, I encountered a puzzling situation. With
the engine off and the ignition on, the OD solenoid would
engage when the shift lever engaged the transmission switch
irrespective of the position of the dash switch. That is,
the solenoid would engage whether the dash switch was on or
off. Further, if I depressed the accelerator, thus opening
the throttle position switch, the solenoid would NOT engage
under the same conditions. Hence, it seems that either the
OD relay was engaged by the W1 terminal being energized or
somehow the C2 terminal was energized. Unfortunately I
caused a short in the throttle switch damaging my harness
before I could trace this. Any thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
