Yeah I have simple Ohms tester which I can use, and will take a look at those youtube videos.

However I wish i could move the Van into my garage so I can actually take it apart and work on it instead of it just sitting there...
Would lack of transmission oil prevent the van from going into limp mode?

 

- then get six men and push it
- auto's are a bit voodoo and a bit black magic
- its a fluid coupling that connects your engine to transmission to wheels



- tranny fluid flows in a loop between the impeller to the turbine
- lack of fluid is lack of velocity is low or no torque
- forget the fancy gears for now



- no or low fluid means its unable to connect to engine to transmission to wheels
- get six men and push it, best of luck !

NOTE: The above assumes its an auto.

 

Yeah the driveway to the garage is up hill..
But thank you for the pictures, helps with the understanding.
