After looking last night, I realize its actually a 6-pin connector not 4, anyway, heres' what it looks like.
Here's the module:
The Banks harness runs from the module to the tranny behind the small heat shield:
This is the arrangement behind the heat shield:
This is where the module connects to the Banks harness; the shunt goes in place of the black side of the connector (goes in the grey side):
The shunt looks like this:
In my Banks harness I have wires Black, Red, Orange, Brown and Yellow.
The wire in the shunt connects the Orange to the Yellow. Solder these two together and seal them up, that'll return the tranny to normal.
If you wanted to return the wiring to stock, look at the wiring in picture 3. The cloth-wrapped harness should run into the tranny connector only, the rest is part of the add-in. During the install you rob three wires from the tranny harness, and add them to the black connector, and wire some from the black harness into the tranny connector. If you want to revert this, go to the Banks site, they have the manual for TransCommand for E4OD, in it theres a diagram you can backtrack to find where the pins in the black connector should be in the tranny connector.

well good and bad news. I had spliced together the yellow and orange wires. It made a difference tranny seemed to be alot smoother and drive alot better but still once i hit overdrive it seems to be locking up and unlocking ? What should i try now like i said tho it deff. made a good difference connecting those two

Kinda where I was going with the trailer wiring connector, a short in there can back feed through the brake light circuit and cause the torque converter to unlock.
Bad grounds in the tail lights, same thing.
There have been a few posts about some rather strange electrical issues causing the torque converter to unlock.
