    Ok, I am going to wire my high stall on my TH400 S/P to a headlight dimmer switch.
    Has anyone done this?
    Where should I hook the 12 volts to, it has three male fittins!!!
    Thanks

    Tim,
    Take an ohmeter, and put it across the terminals you want to check, then push the switch. Once you find 2 terminals that switch, wire one to 12 volts, and the other to the transmission.

    Ok, I did that, there is one terminal on the top and two terminals underneath it, I put an ohm meter across the top one and then across the bottom left, ohm is zero, and the right hand terminal is open, I push the switch and the left side is now open and the right side is now at zero.
    So this tells me I can hook up 12 volts to the top terminal and then to either bottom terminal.
    Will I need a ground , should I just leave the other terminal bare(tape it or something)?
    What terminal on the tranny should I hook it to?
