I've read about two dozen posts asking how the torque converter lockup switch worked, and I know this is posted a lot, so sorry if this is redundant.
I installed a torque converter lockup switch on my car using the tech article instructions, but then read a few things saying that it would probably put a lot more wear on the converter, so I hardly ever use it. My question is when I have the switch off (like I almost always do), and the two terminals are not connected, does it disable the tc from its normal function or does it just function normally unless I flip the switch and manually override it.
I'm just hoping that having the switch there doesn't interfere with it's normal function, and that I'm not wasting gas - it doesn't seem like just having the switch there not turned on it would affect it.

Thanks for any help!

 

With the switch turned off the TCC works as the computer tells it to.
