Re: Check Trans and Engine light (code P1870)

I have had a 1993 trooper for 6 months now, the check tranny light comes on pretty much everytime I drive it, but everytime I turn the car off it turns off and takes few minutes. It almost acts like it needs to shirt between 1 and 2nd gears few times and then the light starts blinking. The tranny has no slips as long as I shift it with the shifter like a manual stick. But if I leave it in over drive, it will stay in 4th and never shift down unless i do it manually.

I took the car to repspected tranny shop, it spit out code that said needs 1-2 3-4 shift solenoids. $500 later, the light still stuck on. I also did some research and the code said maybe the hot wire going to solenids is grounding out somehwere on way to tranny, I'm gonna power wash down below and see if I see something but I'm stuck.

anyone else got any ideas?
