Re: TH400 Kickdown Switch wire where to plug in on fuse block

I am dealing w/th400 kickdown switch right now. Do you have the actual switch on the throttle? I had to buy an aftermarket B&M switch but I think oe or aftermarket the "hot" wire should plug into a switched hot lug in the fuse box. Meaning it is only powered when the key is on, just get your test light out and search for a lug that goes hot when the key is in the run position and you'll be ready to roll. Good luck.

Just find any ignition sourced hotwire under the dash and splice it into that switch.
