TCC lockup pin location
« on: June 10, 2026, 10:18:25 am »
Looking for where the torque converter lockup (+) purple wire pins in at the firewall. Honestly can't remember if it is a separate plug/connection or if it was originally on the main bulkhead for the fuse panel. It's been so long that I can't remember where I de-pinned it from.

The purple wire (Ckt 420) supplies I+ to the TCC solenoid from the brake switch.  It routes through the firewall bulkhead connector as shown.  Is this the wire you are questioning?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Thank you, I swear I looked through all of the diagrams listed for '87 but couldn't find this diagram. The ones listed/pinned say 1987 but are printed for 1988 and have more pins. I almost just put it back together where ever I had a free spot. But I stopped so I can do body mounts. I did find #420 on the other chassis diagrams but the bulkhead connectors didn't look right.

Did you pull this sketch from the ones pined above?

I have kept the brake switch without vacuum hooked up. I'm letting the Terminator handle (-) control for the relay and the brake switch (+) for tcc lockup. Also plan to use the 4th gear grounding circuit as input for possible future tuning configs.  Thanks again

I compiled the diagram from two separate diagrams illustrated in the '87 factory wiring manual.  It took a minute because there are circuit omissions in the diagrams that obstruct easy correlation.  You're welcome!

Oh, you read the big words... That's not my style, I prefer pop-ups. But seriously thanks and now I have to find it!

Funny Vile  ;D


Curious are you using (assuming) Terminator (not X Max) and you are wanting to lockup the converter on the 700R4?
