Your transmission MAY also have a temperature switch inside which
will prevent lockup on a colt transmission - and if defective COULD
prevent lockup - perios. SOME 700R4 traanys ahve the switch, some
don't. SOME have the 3/4 switch, some do not. Only way to know is to
drop the pan. Also, some have one wire (self grounded) solenoid,
others have 2 wire. One wire solenoid USUALLY has external 4th gear
pressure switch and will require a relay to enable it or you risk
cooking the switch (if it is not a heavy enough switch)
-------------------------------------
Look for a DC rating on the switch. DC current is more difficult to break than AC because AC goes to zero between cycles while DC doesn't and can continue to arc like welding, especially with inductance such as a solenoid in the circuit. The same applies to relays, circuit breakers and fuses. A DC voltage rating may be much lower than the AC rating. My lab equipment can test them and several 12V car audio circuit breakers have failed after tripping correctly once.
