torque converter wont lockup

I just finished my stealth ram installation and now my torque converter wont lock up...... the shifts are all fine and it goes into overdrive but the converter wont lock.....once the tv cable was installed on the stealth ram it was at a weird angle and is not straight on like it was with the tpi....could this cause it to not lock up??? Removing the TV cable is the only thing IV changed since my tear down and before it was doing just fine

not having your TV cable set correctly will burn your tranny up in no time. be patient, do it right.

Its set and the shifts are good they are spaced out and the shift points seem to be normal bit only the torque converter wont lock up....I'm gonna check the plug on the. Tranny but I don't see how it could have come loose by Sitting in the shop
