Default How to test TCM connector cavities

I have seen a couple posts from CCKEN on how to test the cavities on the connector that goes to the TCM.

For example, in this post: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/tra...2/#post3099514.

(BTW: I hope ccken is ok, haven't seen him in ages.)

I was following these instructions, but I could never get any ohm readings at all on the multimeter, for the ground of solenoids or any of them.

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

For instance, cavity 6 to cavity 7 was supposed to show resistance, but it didn't move the meter at all.

Likewise checking cavity 24 for ground.

Have you tried PM'ing Ken? It would be a shame if he's unavailable for whatever reason - his knowledge of the electrical system is absolutely mind blowing.
