1995 Ram lock up issue

I installed a switch to control lock up on the TC and now the torque converter will only lock up with the switch now. I thought I would have lock normal with the switch off and could use the switch as need in 1 and 2nd gear and third and od would lock normal.. What did I do wrong on this ???
Lost here, Thanks Don T

Did you interrupt any circuitry? If I recall correctly, you should be tapping off the grounding line with a switch (and jumping out a relay) and not interrupting the circuit with a switch. In other words, instead of the PCM closing a relay AND grounding a solenoid, you keep the relay closed with a jumper and ground the lock-up solenoid with a switch, just tapped off the grounding wire (B11 or something on PCM harness). When normal the PCM does both I think...

There is no relay to mess with on a '95.
It sounds like you cut the blk/org wire.
You are supposed to tee into it without cutting.

the orange and black wire doesnt get cut you have to just splice in to it so when u flip the switch the wire is grounded and when the switch is off the computer can ground it
