You've done something wrong.

what could i have done wrong, could it be the ground? or no

Apeiron

You'll have to check your wiring. Chances are you've got +12v going directly to ground somewhere.

Why do you have it hooked up to a mallory switch box?

because it needs to be hooked up to a switch correct? also my ground is the floor or my car..screwed om threw the bottom

Apeiron

No, it doesn't need to be hooked up to a switch.

Heres a link to the instructions for the Universal TCC Lock-Up Kit for 700R4 and 2004R

Its says: Using 18-gauge wire, run a 12-volt source to the red
wire on the external harness (Terminal A).

Apeiron

so were would i hook up that wire, it coulnt go stright the battery, i would splice it into the pink igntion wire?>

Yes - you need to connect the red wire to any wire that is switched (has power only after ignition is on).

You can run a manual switch to manually engage the lockup whenever you want by running the GREEN wire to one side of a switch, and connecting the otherside to a ground. When you turn on the switch, the green wire gets grounded and locks the converter.

One thing - be very very very careful with that vacuum line nipple on that little POS vacuum switch they provide - mine broke the first time I pulled the vacuum wire off, and a replacement vacuum switch is mucho $$$. I just trashed mine, and I only use the manual switch to lock mine up on the highway.

ok im not going to hook up the green wire...but for the red...what did u hook yours up too? what wire would u suggest to splice it into?

camaronewbie

You should have plenty of leftovers that were hot-in-run - maybe an injector wire or something? The TC lockup function doesn't require alot of juice, just 12v to activate.

The "gauges" power circuit is where the factory powered the TCC solenoid from.
