TC not locking
Funny shifts and OD light blinking. Have p0741 and p0743 codes. Checked wiring and no visible damage. Checked continuity on the purple-yellow TC wire from connector under hood and at Trans and their is none.?? Please advise.
Also will I hurt the Trans driving this way if the temp stays in check?

Can't help with your problem but...........
My 1988 Suburban was having trans troubles where the TC would lock and unlock twice a mile and a trans shop showed me how to make my TC never lock up and that was this spring. It only runs a couple hundred rpm higher and tiny noticeable loss in mileage, maybe .5 mpg less. But what's 13.5 from 14? Trans temps have been fine but I don't tow with it either.

2001-2002 Trucks with 4R100 Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Codes:
Some trucks build between 1-1-01 to 5-1-02 may exhibit a flashing OD light and possibly harsh shifting, with any or all of the following trouble codes: P0740, P0741, P0743, P1744. This may be due to high resistance in the torque converter clutch solenoid, which results in lower torque converter lock pressures. The transmission solenoid body should be replace with P/N F81Z-7G391-CB to correct. Broadcast Message 3559
This has fixed the problem for MANY guys with your same symptoms/codes. Best price I could find just now was

Visibly checking the wiring harness will only find the most obvious problem.
You just proved that your visual check was a waste of time. You've located the problem, it is a broken wire in the stretch you checked. You can try to find the problem spot and fix it, but I'd just run a new wire.
No, it will not.
