Hey , I'm new to this site so I apologies if I post this n the wrong area , I'm goin crazy b/c I cant find info and I'm almoat out of time , my 99 4.0 L sohc explorer 4x4 acted up Friday the torque converter wouldn't unlock after getting off the highway so the truck stalled ! I cut the wire to the tcc soleniod so I could get home ! Napa gave me the wrong part. And now its Sunday and I can't find the right part . I just want someone to confirm that the the tcc is the one on the driverside closest to the front of the transmission . There's four n a row on that side . I need some advice please I need to get this part asap , I've gotta work all week . Help :roll:

Welcome aboard! You'll want to go over to the transmission forum or the stock 1995-2001 forum

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the transmission section. Check the sticky thread called the 5R55E valve body rebuild diary.

Yes it is the one on the driver side closest to the engine, it has a separate mounting bracket none of the rest do. However if cutting the wire to the TC solenoid stopped the torque converter from locking, it sounds more like a shorted wire, computer (negative) side of the solenoid, if the solenoid was stuck open cutting the wire shouldn't have done anything.
