I have a strange thing happening.. Ok here it goes LOL...
With the lights off my truck shifts fine into all gears including overdrive. I have a 1994 A4LD from a ranger in my bronco 2. Well when i turn on the lights to drive at night the torque converter will not lock into the OD gear. It stays in the slipped OD mode. (this is where it gets tricky) When I flip on the left turn signal the torque converter locks into OD ..
Also with the lights on driving i turn on the left turn signal not only does the Torque converter lock, but the left tail light goes out all together.. Well I have been seeing more and more issues with electrical. I recently upgraded to a gel battery and i went to use the right turn signal and it does not blink anymore and the light on the panel stays solid and does not click and blink. When i also swapped out the battery when i drive on the freeway at night with lights on it will no longer lock the torque converter into OD anymore, even if i turn on the left turn signal..
Im stumped and scratching my head.. Where might all the ground wires be? Could this also be caused by a faulty relay or relay going bad? and if so what relay . Also at night with lights on i am driving and the lights flicker on and off, i can manually turn them off and back on and they will stay on. I do not hit bumps or anything and out of the blue they have a mind of there own...
Please Help
