I am trying to replace what GM calls a torque converter clutch electric solenoid on a 1997 K1500. The one GM gave me is wrong but it fits snug,is the same length etc. Only problem is the wire only goes in backwards. On the solenoid there are two groves(one big, one small) to prevent putting the wires on backwards as well as the pins being out of centre to prevent putting it on backwards. Both the orentation of the groove and the placement of the pins allow me to put the wires and connector only one way, the opposite of what it was. It would no longer clip to anything so nothing would be holding it properly but if it would work that way I don't really have a problem doing that. It shouldn't be a problem to secure it there with a small cable tie. Pisses me off that GM couldn't give me the right part but I need the truck early tomorrow.
