wirng for T85 transmisson?

Post by farmall1 »

Hey Guys,
I have a 19070 F100 with 390 and T85 3 speed with overdrive manual transmission. The 3 speed part of my transmission really works good but overdrive does not work. I found an excellent trouble shooting guide on here that leads me to believe that the trouble with mine is in the electrical components. Can anyone tell me where wires should run between the fuse box, relay and solenoid? I have some wires that appear to be cut near the relay.

Many thanks!

I don't know anything about them but I'm waiting for a plane here in Charlotte I thought I would take a look. You may have already found this site but it might help. http://www.drivetrain.com/parts_catalog ... parts.html hope this helps.

Here is a good article from a while back. You may be well familiar with the T85 and don't need all this info, but it is well explained here:

Here is a simplified wiring diagram:

That's a long link. I hope it works.
