The kickdown servo switch connector is the one on the round servo cover. First picture, connector all the way on the right side.

If you have an analog meter, set it to Ohms and follow the directions above. Continuity is indicated by ~0 Ohms. Open loop (no continuity) is infinite resisitance.

i tested the switch it works fine

now i gotta find the real problem and i have no idea where to start since the TCU got reset cause of a dead battery

You still might want to check the wiring to the switch. Unplug the switch and test the voltage at the connector. It should show battery voltage (~12V) with the car in the 'ON' position, but not running.

well i called IPT and once i get this valve body out again im sending it to them to look through it inspect it along with the 4 solenoids on it.

i have the ATSG manual and the only other thing thats leading to 3rd gear starts is malfunction of the valve body because every time i reinstall it something different happens

hopefully they can get me back on the road here shortly!!!

Good luck. You have my sympathy for being one of the unfortunate ones to have this much hassle with your shift kit install. :(
