That looks to be how I have it wired up, just pulled the solenoid and it's working properly when giving it direct voltage from the battery. It's a new kickdown switch maybe 2 months old if that. Relay is original but if I'm getting power to the solenoid side when governor is engaged that tells me that's working properly, just doesn't have power when the solenoid wire is touching. But now that I bench tested the solenoid and it works it's not making sense, I tested the wire that was hooked to the relay on the positive side of the battery, tried the other one and nothing, so to me it should be working.
