That pictorial of the transmission power feed ... is or could be a bit confusing to a newbie to the lamp circuit. The ground on pin U to controller is a logic control "pull to ground or low" from the CPU.
This link below is a very good trouble guide with detail., wire numbers too. IMO a MUST...
Have you priced Helium lately?? Sheds more than 20 pounds from the wallet LOL
Over inflated idea... air we breath is 78 % nitrogen and dealers charge extra for what?
Leaks can be expensive, CAMO 🎈
Just an idea... and I did it to mine was to drill a 3/8 hole in the low spots in the frame. I was told by a wise man (86humv) that the frames have been known to rust out from the inside. One wouldn't think so, as thick as they are... but any water held in the frame is going to be a problem...
MY guess... so here we go. Guess #1 you have a 3 speed transmission? There are many reasons... guess # 2 check the TV cable assembly and adjustments. It a little strange it can be a start - stop thing. Guess #3 Check the kick down switch on the passenger side of IP. I could be sticking in...
Really... Tell the truth here... papakb. Can one even see the letters on that connectors? Fifty ... that's 50 +/- close spaced pins on a 2 1/4 inch connector, in a spot that getting one's nose, flashlight and eyes up in there to even peek or trying to poke around looking for letters S and a...

Sticky subject. And there's the TM's too, CAMO
Here an idea ??? If not wanting the AC on your rig... re-purpose the compressor for "On Board Air" It's already bolted in and with some simple plumbing, a small tank or bigger a switch or cutout / regulator..."good to blow"
Could come in handy on the trail filling up JEEP tires...LOL...
RIGHT... The contacts on the ENGINE connector to the box can not handle the current. The 8 ga pins are only rated 70 amps on a good day.
Was a bad design right out of the gate...errr BOX, CAMO
Just a guess... and a FREE IMO... so proceed at one own experience level.
Sounds like the solenoid HIGH current motor run contacts are not making up. That's the two BIG copper bolt connections.
One quickie test would to to short across the two with a junk screw driver. Get ready for a good...
Not the answer your looking for BUT I would put this in the HumV file.

It will come in handy... like a ______________, CAMO
That's an easy one from the Camoteksystems builds file. Yes they do look some what alike. Front left and right rear lowers same. Same going the other way, Front right and left rear lowers same. A way to tell is looking at the spring saddle. Springs to the front and spring to the rear.
No...
🤔🤔 Not a whizz at transmissions... BUT how are the tranny swapper (that reads wrong) dealing with the TC lock-up solenoid / coil voltage requirements?
Are they hitting it with 12 Volts (tapped battery) or slamming it with 24 Volts. Like is there a 24 Volt coil or who cares or dropping...
