Wiring a converter lock/unlock switch.

Is there a way to manually lock and unlock your converter via a toggle switch? If there is how would you go about wiring that up.

Thanks,

That switch locks the converter up. I need one that does both. (locks and unlocks) Maybe I read that article wrong, does it do both? One of my main problems now is is locks prematurely and erratically. I would like to have full control over when it locks and unlocks.

Thanks,

The ECM control is really a grounding operation. If you take the return wire (not the power wire) from the tranny and hook it up to ground with a toggle switch, your dreams will become a reality.
