    2004r transmission lock up situation.

    so the cruise(which works) and lock up are powered from the same source,have you check to see if there's any power @the trans? i.e the other end of the circuit.

    The volt meter dropped to the orange line?

    i can't help but wonder if there's an underlying issue with the gauge cluster/or something within the car that's doing this.it's reading true @the battery and all.

    The volt meter dropped to the orange line?

    nice,sounds like good service at napa,did you test the one that was in the car to see what it was doing before hand?

    The volt meter dropped to the orange line?

    yes,that's the idea any how,if it reads low pull it out and have it checked @ the part store before buying another one.they have a machine that replicates running the alternator in a car.the last thing i want is you buying a pricy part on my advise.

    The volt meter dropped to the orange line?

    yes,it will be a large/single wire with a ring termineral crimped onto it and it should be attached to a stud via a small nut.anywhere from 13 volts or higher indicates a charging alternator.

    The volt meter dropped to the orange line?

    the one by itself should be a larger single red wire,that one.not the two smaller ones that are contained in a plastic plug.

    with the car running place the + lead of the meter on the stud that comes out of the back and ground the - lead.

    Transmission seems to be low needs some help with dimensions

    is it a round loop or an oval one? those round ones run real tight.I'm running an oval one and it's a better fit.have you checked the angles at all in relation to the driveshaft or with the suspension loaded is the shaft coming outta the trans relatively straight or is it angling down more than...

    Can the torque converter be wired into the cruise control switch?

    barring the newfound dead battery issue,use the meter to see if there's power @the square plug that runs the lock up when being powerd by that same cruise control circuit.if there's no power there but the cruise control works then it's another issue.

    Can the torque converter be wired into the cruise control switch?

    yes that one fuse will provide power for two draws but if it's to much for the circuit the fuse would blow. so if you had two things plugged into one circuit and only one was working i'd look to the item that wasn't working.are you fimilar with a test light? that would help you along with an answer
