trans help

I have a 99 E250 van, with a 5.4 triton and a 4R70W trans. the other day i was backing up and it felt like i hit someting. ON down the road, my trans shifted from od to 3rd and back. then i was stopped, and took back off and it sounded like it was in 2 gears at once. then it killed the engine. So i got a tow home. The the TC light was flashing so i checked for a code. I got a P1747, Pres Ctrl Sol. A Circuit Shorted. there are no visable shorts on external wires. But there is trans fluid in the connector at trans. could that be the short? Or should i check the wires inside and sol.? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, that ATF could be the cause of the code. It's even more likely that a wire inside the trans pan has worn through the insulation and shorted.

Check this out, very instructional. James shared this with me on my similar post.
“Sonnax has some good info on their site and look at the vacuum test guide to get a idea on what areas can cause certain issues and their product line for this transmission.”
