Thanks everybody for your suggestions, they were all appreciated. I didn't realize that a Dodge ignition switch had a, Acc, Lock, Off, Run and Start position. So according to the manual, one of the power wires was to be energize in the off, run and start position so I assumed it was hot all of the time and connected it to a fused 12 volt always on source. So after many hours of studying the wiring diagrams, I finally saw and paid attention to the ignition switch schematic and saw my error. I moved the wire to an ignition switched sourced 12 volt and everything works fine. It shifts well and hauls *** just as it should.
