4R100 electrical noise problem

While pullin in my 7.3 with a 4r100 from a passing hail storm, i shut her down and crawled under it just to check things out. While under there I heard a noise that sounded like something was shorting out figured out the location of the noise, but have no idea what the electrical connector is for?



passenger side next to exhaust

After further analysis the noise only happens after truck has been placed in drive gear and then to park gear and finally shut down/turn engine off... Makes noise for around 30 seconds and is not a constant short noise like something is jumping around....

More pics of the lil rascal that is hard to get too and explain where it is...




Just behind the tranny line....





Thanks
Grayson

That is where the solenoid pack is. I wonder if they make noise when faulty? Maybe Mark Kovalsky will see this and give his thoughts....

I'd disconnect that connector and see if there is corrosion in there.

No, that's not normal. There is a seal in the solenoid body that seems to have failed. You need to drop the pan to get to the solenoid body.
