ok ... Banks is aftermarket ...btw.. it was the wires to the Banks that burnt up.... that mean I don't have to have it and can just use a regular harness and omit the Banks??? if I want it... I need to replicate the way they spliced the banks into the main harness... 2 of the wires are spliced into wires that continue to the harness plug... 2 of the wires from main harness go directly to the banks and by pass the harness plug.. seems logical at some level.. don't have a schematic for that .. I copy my harness easy enough.
my wire harness actually looks good asuming my splice work is good.... the main plug at the tranny seems casual. its pretty easy to get off and on.. .I suspect my solenoid plug is buggered up.
Lots of info to follow here.
Did you grab the harness from the wrecker that appeared the same? (less the Banks wiring) If so, my suggestion is to install it as is, effectively removing the Banks controller.
That should put you back to original. Then see if your codes are gone. The add on shift improver is not required, in the early days of electronic shift controls, they introduced hydraulic accumulators and pressure modulation to soften shifts for a better feel. They did it so well many of the old transmission gurus felt that they were slipping. Hence the aftermarket add-ons. It should work just fine without it. In fact I suspect the Banks module might be the cause of the harness issue in the first place. (It appears from the diagrams that one of the red wires runs to the Banks module, then back to the trans, this could cut power to the solenoid body intermittently causing your codes.)
Another question that begs to be asked is, how is the fluid? Red and nice? Brownish and OK? Or Black and smells like money? That will help indicate general trans condition.
Hope that helps a bit
Cheers
