is this diagram correct? lockup converter

I want to install a lighted kill switch to my transmission lock-up convertor. Right now, hitting the brakes electronically disengages the lock-up. Below is the switch I want to add to prevent the convertor from locking up at all. Would this work?

79 Monte Carlo 200-4R lock up overdrive transmission

I would like to add that the first part is how its wired now, and works perfectly fine...

Can you describe EXACTLY what this is for... Did a quick Google search, but just looking for a better description... Thank You!( the locking up convertor, not the switch)M.E.C.P & First-Class

I have a transmission with overdrive. When in OD, the convertor 'locks up' and essentially makes a 5th gear for hwy driving (lowers the rpms for better gas mileage) The problem is, I'm in 4th gear a lot and it locks up instantly which causes the engine to lug when I'm going 55mph or less. So thats why I want to stop it from locking up until I'm on the hwy doing 60+.

So...... does that seem like it would work? The brake switch is a normally closed one.. when you apply the brakes it opens the switch and breaks the circuit. I need a switch that breaks the circuit instead of having to apply the brakes. I don't want to use a simple interrupt, I need a lighted one... So....?

Looks good to me... I dislike commenting when i dont fully understand the other "Stuff" that goes with it... IE Transmissions are an Engineering nightmare, or so they say... : ) It reminds of a show i watched on the Transmission... Oy Vey... But, it does appear that your diagram will work as YOU want it to... Hope this helps...M.E.C.P & First-Class

Why is the light of the switch important...? Is it to determine if the switch is engaged or not...? You did the wiring of the first diagram...?M.E.C.P & First-Class

The transmission install shop did the wiring on the first diagram, and it works fine like that. I just want more control over the lock up with a toggle switch. I like that its lighted so it reminds me that the lock up is 'on'.. plus at night it will be easier to see.
