Ok, I was thinking... On my 81 Buick the torque converter no longer locks because of some problem in the computer which I don't care to spend the time to trace. I thought of a toggle switch, but that's just not me. I know I'll forget and leave it on, and cause myself problems. I spent some time sketching out possible circuits on notebook paper today, and when I found one I was happy with I made a prettier version in paint for everyone to look over.
I'm proposing to use (2) 12v SPST relays. One normally open, one normally closed, and a SPST monentary contact switch. The switch will energize the relay. Once energized the relay will hold itself closed until the brake pedal is pressed, energizing the second relay, and breaking the ground on the first, thereby resetting everything until the next time the button is pressed. I guess if this works out I could use a lighted switch, and have the light glow when the converter is locked. Anyone see any flaws in my logic here?
Thanks, Jay
Ok, thinking about a semi-automatic torque converter circuit...
