5 codes! no overdrive, no cruise, burned fuse 5C
OK, guys, first happy new year!
This is my 96 SE, now with 174k. It runs great for quite a while. Powertran is in top-notch condition.
The title pretty says it all. 5 codes:
p0753,0758 (Shift Solenoid 'A' Electrical,Shift Solenoid 'B' Electrical)
p1651 p1652 (cooling fan relay 1 & 2)
p1864 (TCC Enable Solenoid circuit)
Burned 3 fuses (5C, cooling/transaxle, 10A) since yesterday, including a 20A.
The car doesn't run in OD. 3100 rpm at 70 mph. No cruise control. Gets a hard time going from stop to 10 mph (2500 rpm required). After 10 mph is passed, it runs fine except no OD and CC. With a new fuse, everything becomes normal. But that wouldn't last long because the fuse would be burned again any minute.
I am guessing a relay controlling the transmission is dying or dead. What do you think? How many relays do we have for this purpose and where they are? can I find maps/pictures of them? Can I find electronic diagram of suspected portion? Thank you very much and happy new year!

Thanks. But now I realized that the fuses all got burned when there should be an action in the transmission. I also found out that the fuse controls 2 coolant fan relays and 4 transmission solenoids. Two of the fuses were burned when the car was very cold, so I don't think it'* because the coolant fan relays.
So now the a million $ question: how hard is to replace the solenoid (*)? Of course I will verify that it'* the cause before I take the tranny apart. From what I found, I (only) need to take out the tranny side pan to replace them but how? Is it something quite difficult to do? Thank you very much!

Ok, an update. I have checked the resistance of all the solenoids inside the transmission. They are all beautifully within specs. So now I do think the transmission is fine, (at least it shouldn't burn the fuse). So what'* next? I did check the fuses under the hood and the 2 coolant fan relays and they are all fine. Thank you very much!

I did actually. I have finished the portion inside the hood and it'* fine. I did found several other wires got partially burned behind the EGR, . I started working on those inside the car just now but man, so many, . It looks quite scarily with so many wires out there. Is there a good manual I can look at? Thanks. I don't want to mess up anything.
