2004r manual lockup

[Badpontic]

Hey everyone. I'm putting my lockup on a switch because i no longer have a ecu. My question do I need power to all three wires from the trans plug or if I leave the wire out for the fourth gear switch if I read correct then I could lock in 3rd and 4th. Correct me if wrong I'm putting the switch in as I type this. After market auto lock kits are not an option thanks

From what I recall, you need to switch the NC solenoid to a NO solenoid. After that, you only need one 12v wire going to the A pin. You then just insert your toggle somewhere on that 12v wire.

Not saying your wrong but I'm thinking if the solenoid in the trans is N/O couldn't I just use it on a switch if open is regular operation with no power when I power it it would close and go into lockup? I'm thinking out loud was never a trans guy lol.

I edited my above post. I had the NO/NC mixed up. I used to know all this crap but once I got my lockup working ( I'm running the Painless system ) I kinda forgot some of the specifics!

Honestly, an internet search should find you all the info you's want on this subject quicker than anyone could answer you!
