Thanks for the post and the quick response...Can you be a little more specific.
Is it in a harness with others..If so, any idea what colour wire it is.
I cannot afford to disconnect the wire if it GOING to the control computer..If it is the coming FROM the control computer(to solenoid),I then have a chance to slip in a toggle switch for manual use (freeway travel)on the dashboard or steering column??
Apparently the Computer looks for three imputs before sending in a signal to lock the converter...correct engine temp,speed sensor(approx 35mph and reasonably constant) and if the transmission is in Drive(3rd)
If I accidently disconnect the wrong wire I do not know how the computer will react as I assume those three inputs are possibly used for other "calculations"

Thanks again
