Flashing OD Light / P1747 Code

2001 Excursion 7.3L PSD Banks Powerpak 4r100 Trans.
I've had an intermittent problem with the OD light flashing and the truck going into limp mode. Now it's consistent and I need to do something about it. Transmission shifts fine in all gears and the ATF looks good, but I am concerned that I grossly overfilled it. P1747 indicates a short related to solenoid A. I chased the wiring harness from near the master cylinder all the way back and found no obvious damage from heat/etc. Pulled the plug on the right side of the trans case at the solenoid and found a small amount of ATF present. Pulled the pan, cleaned the connector, and replaced with correct amount of ATF. Truck is the same - still shifts fine, but goes into limp mode and the P1747 code comes back every time I clear it. Suggestions?
