Escape torque converter lockup?

My son's 2005 Escape appears to be having a problem with the torque conv. lockup being stuck. Car stalling when comes to a stop, but idles fine in park and neutral. Starting off like it's in high gear. Had this problem on another vehicle and was able to unplug the lockup solenoid for a temp. fix. No flashing OD light.

Is there a lockup solenoid that can be unplugged for temp. relief and drivability just to be able to get it to a trans shop to check out?

Thanks in advance.

The manual shows that it doesn't have a single connector just for the TCC alone.

You might try the OD lockout switch, as it may disable TC lockup.
