FOR MARIO
I should listen to my own advice about checking basics first. When I got home from my ride yesterday I decided to finish the wiring. I get it all done and it's not working; the shift solenoid isn't getting energised. I did a little trouble shooting but it was getting dark so I quit for the day. Went out this morning and started back in. I checked, double checked and triple checked everything; even replaced the relay, and nothing; the solenoid still wasn't getting any juice. I connected a hot line direct to the solenoid and it clicked, WTF. I'm laying there, on my back thinking I've really gone completely senile. As I'm looking at my terminal block (the photo was taken after I built it but hadn't installed it yet)
something catches my eye, I hadn't connected a jumper wire to the terminal that feeds the relay (don't ask me why), you can see it missing from the 4th relay from the left where the yellow wire connects to the terminal block. I made a short jumper, installed it and wolah, it worked!! I filled the unit up with the recommended ATF and took it for a short ride around the block; it's very cool. I do need to hook up the OD indicator light I got though. The owners manual recommends not having the OD engaged under 20mph. In case you're wondering the relay on the right is one that isn't needed yet so I never wired it.
