Default This is Strange .......TH400 Kickdown

The kickdown on my TH400 started working. Hasn't worked since I bought the car in January and was on "the list" of things to fix. I had the steering column out recently replacing the rag joint. Must have jarred some wires!!!
Anyway its real nice having the kickdown...

It works off of a switch on the throttle, so must have wiggled something.

mine seems to work whenever it feels like it too, I really need to crawl under there and take a look at it. What is really weird is my clock just started working again...doesn't really keep time, but it's still moving all the time
