Tell me the color of the wire.
Or better yet go have your brother see the color.
It surely could be You.

BINGO
Have someone else look.
Or dump the TC lock idea.
I still would check the trans for issues.
I would not bring it to your mech that stated not to worry could
be just a high stall TC.

Believe what you will.
This is a less than a dollar keyboard advise you get here at FTE

BTW--On a WAG i think you engauged 2nd gear.
If not you have possible trouble

My brother has the same problem.
Nothing to be embarrassed about.
You just have to learn to trace ckts without colors.
Colors are for nothing but to speed up time.
A good electrical trouble shooter does not need colors.

yeah but color stay around a bit longer than the stupid numbers that most HD trucks and RV's have!! RV's are the worst!! Nothing standard. custom parts mixed with chassis parts!! I hate Motorhomes almost as bad as van!! Especially the really expensive one cause if you get them dirty you get in big trouble!!

2 stroke I think you need to forge ahead with the mod!!

My life has been a control/network install/troubleshooter electrican.
Its not uncommon to open a data/elect box with 50+++ of the same color wires from a poor install job.
