Thanks, DC,
Yes, I'd be interested to know what things from the hardware store I'd need to do that type of test and set it up.
My harness is a replacement and is in pretty good shape all around.
The kickdown switch breaks continuity when pressing on the accelerator all the down plus. I can feel the "bump."
The lock out also breaks continuity.
Flackmaster sent me a relay and the kickdown still didn't work using it, so I returned it.
It quit working in October, but has worked since 2011.
Too bad you're not in DC, dc. With car stuff, two heads are better than one, esp when one of them is mine.
I'm willing to try testing the circuit again with it live.
