    Overdrive Lockup Wiring Empty Overdrive Lockup Wiring

    I installed the brake pedal relay kit from bowtie overdrives on my newly installed 2004R. I tapped into a white wire that goes to my brake light switch. I'm assuming its functioning correctly because I can hear the relay clicking when I press on the brake pedal.

    Only thing is it only makes a clicking noise when the headlights are turned off. Did I tap into the wrong wire?

    Not sure, when I installed my 200-4r I ran a new hot wire and installed my own switch.

    As a safety feature I put an indicator light to show when the overdrive is getting power, and a switch to disable it for when I am towing something heavy.

    Just for the record, if you put a switch in to disable it when you are towing, just shift into 3rd. If I'm not mistaken, running in OD with the converter not locked equals a quick death for the tranny. So says the printed literature that came with my rebuilt transmission.
