TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
PROBABLE CAUSE
Voltage not reaching solenoid. Plug not properly engaged.
Connectors not installed on proper terminals
Wires for solenoid pinched and grounded

spade connector. Place this onto
terminal #3 of the switch. Route this
wire to a good ground. The ground
MUST be metal and should not have
any paint in between the connector and
the metal. Cut ground wire to length
and install the tongue spade connector
on the end. Install spade connector to
ground.
STEP 6. Onto the supplied wire install
two spade connectors. Attach these
connectors to the terminals marked #1
and #2 on the switch. If there is no
existing hole in the firewall or floorboard
of the vehicle, drill a 5/16" hole. Feed
the two long wires through the supplied
rubber grommet then through the 5/16"
hole. Press the rubber grommet into
place. Route wires to the transmission
electrical connector. Connect the wires
from driver's control switch to the wires
from the oil switch using the remaining
tap connectors. See Figure 4 for the
TH700-R4 or Figure 5 for the TH200-
4R. Make sure all wires are secured
and properly connected.
OPERATION
When the toggle switch is lighted
the lockup clutch is disabled (except
in overdrive). With the light out the
lockup clutch functions normally. See
the trouble shooting guide below if
there are any problems.
