There is a solenoid inside the transmission pan, next to the valve body that locks up the torque converter.
However, it is unlocked by the brake lights. If your brake light switch is not adjusted properly, or is stripped (mine was) it does not allow your torque converter to lock up or it will lock/unlock intermittently.

Good luck

There isn't a stock switch, it's controlled by the ECM.
