Default TC lockup switch not working

Okay, I have b connector pin 11 tapped into (not cut/interrupted) and the jumper wire across the relay switched circuit. I have a good ground on the firewall for the switch to connect to, the switch is good. What strikes me as strange is that according to my multi meter using the continuity test function it shows the tapped b11 pin always grounded. The trans acts completely normal. Anyone have or heard of this issue?

For some reason, I thought it was B13. Hm. It's been awhile. What color is it?

The TC and sol are probably fine seeing that it locks normally in 4th gear

May sound silly but you are 100% on the #11 and that the switch you are using is good?

Tested the switch yesterday, it's good. I'm installing gauges tonight and I'll double checked on the wire, but I'm sure i check continuity from wire after I pulled the insulation off and the b11 pin

Sounds like the wiring is wrong .. odd though .. Do you have the wiring diagram ? I can E-mail it to you .. mine is a 95 .. might help
