So the other day I made myself a switch panel. Gotta love 3d printing. One of the switches is a torque converter lockup switch
Welp, it was getting dark and I tapped into the wrong line. I tapped into the apps wire. Oopsies. Orange and dark blue vs orange and black when it was starting to get dark out
Ended up running it on my commute to work today, about a 30 minute drive.
Surprisingly, the switch worked, just not as a lockup switch
Turns out if you ground the apps wire, the truck will run properly, but the torque converter will hold whatever condition it was in when you flipped the switch
So if you flip it while it's unlocked - it stays unlocked through all gears
If you flip it while it's locked - stays locked (even unlocks when you hit the breaks)
Honestly I thought that was kinda cool
But my question would be, would running something like that cause any damage to the apps or pcm?
Once I realized my mistake after getting to work, I didn't use it on the way home
I know a noise isolator adds a capacitor between the line and ground to reduce noise. But I'm not sure what completely grounding the wire would do
Just an interesting little find I stumbled across and not sure if it's harmful or not
