==Basic wire diagram==
This is a simple 12 volt circuit. 12 volts to the solenoid and you need a ground to complete the circuit. When the brakes are applied the relay switches to pin 87 and the circuit is broken, thus unlocking the torque converter. A common Bosch relay used.
 
  
If you do not understand basic wiring, get some help from someone with transmission / automotive wire knowledge.

==Pressure switches==
Notice these pressure switches are silver in color. This means they are NO = Normally Open. When pressure is applied, the switch closes the internal contacts to complete the circuit.
 
  
All of these pressure switches are of an "on-off" design. Pressure turns them "on", no pressure turns them "off".

The pressure switch with 1 pole on it is self-grounding. This means the wire you hook to it is going to be grounded when pressure is applied to the switch.
