Ok A brief Explination.....While Driving at any speed other than heavy acceleration or on the hiway o/d on or off The converter Locks up and unlocks randomly at a steady Throttle position...Step on brake lightly or drive around with the brake pedal depressed enough to activate the brake switch the car drive perfectly & it goes away...

My Question is Who Knows WHERE the Wire/s that control the solenoid are they have to be coming out of the tranny some where All I want to do is run a manual switch to open the circut to interrupt the ECM but it will still tell it to lock but I am interupting the circut going to the tranny so the ECM won't think there is anything wrong & but it will not lock up, unless I switch the switch

Any help on wires would be Greatly appreciated

The wiring is inside the trans as far as I know. ANd you WILL want to get a cooler installed if you dont have one, you could easily over-heat the trans if you have 0 lock-up. I suggest you get the problem fixed instead.

AMd are you sure its the TC unlocking/locking? There are a fews things that can simulate this.
 
Mark HATE to Mark VIII again

Yup Actually I found a diagram & just cut the wire going to the trans...Problem fixed....I will run a switch to it in the morning also I have a 12"X12"X2" Alum Cooler with it's own elec fan mounted behind the grill I just don't want the "POS Mark HATE" locking up in the winter it is sever enough to put me in the ditch or a car with Icey roads but @ -20*C ........ I don't think it will over heat I HOPE
 
Ah, you in Canadia! Eh! Well der, no over heatn' issues I think! lol And I know what you mean about the lock-up in snow...
