2005 48re O/D lockout switch

[ADawg]

Ok so I was driving today with my O/D locked out when I had that electrical burning smell! Oh Yes so when I got home checked it out and found my 33 ohm 1/2 watt resistor fried! So my question is do I get a 1 watt resistor? How can I fix this problem so it does not happen again? My father in law said to get a 300 ohm resistor what are your thoughts? The voltage supplied to the resistor is suppose to be 5 volts and the resistance is suppose to mimic the solenoid resistance so that the computer does not throw a code. Any help would be awesome

Ok so a little help from the ole father in-law and some math equations latter I found out the 1/2 watt resistor is to small. I found this out from this equation for our known values which were the volts=5 and the resistance=33. so according to the equation V squared divided by the resistance 5 x 5 = 25/33 = .75 watts and thats why my resistor fried. So I will know purchase a 33 ohm 1 watt flameproof resistor!
