I do have the 2 part wire harness-I have not traced the wires back to relay or solenoid

Instead of grounding the centrigual switch-I know the kickdown switch shows open instead of closed-I grounded the number 5 lead on the relay to put voltage on 3 and 4. I disconnected 4 at the solenoid. I verfied that there was 6 volts at the 4 lead going to solenoid. I then touched it to the #4 solenoid terminal-there were sparks and a clicking sound-then it stopped. Checked for voltage on the lead 4 and still had 6v. Checked contuity on #4 terminal on the solenoid-it now shows open.

I also verfied that the manual lock out switch was functioning from under the car-it moves very smoothly.

I read the post about the spacer orientation-not sure how to determine right or wrong.

Do the solenoids have a thermal overload switch?
