I Have An 01 F 350 7.3 L That Reconnected The Wire Harness Under Driver Side Valve Cover. When Started Up Everything ran fine. When I went to drive it, it stalled out pulling the code P0743. There is a big harness connection above the valve cover that I did not take apart but moved around a lot to get the cover off. I do not see any bare wires but I cannot get it apart to look for corrosion inside the connection. Am I on the right track and how do I get the connection apart?

P0743 � Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Electrical
normally the prob is the harness inside the valve cover. Trying to find harness connector no luck yet.I will send as soon as I locate.

I reconnected the the harness connector on the gasket of the valve cover. Are you thinking the tcc is tied into that as well

Well I really ca't see where it would be connected. But if you reconnected plug and ran ok then stopped running possibly plug has come off or harness inside v/c is bad this is a common prob. However should have a misfire code as well.

The engine runs fine sitting there in park. When I go to shift into gear it stalls and I cannot move it. I believe this is because of the P0743 code I just don't know if the tcc electrical is tied into the main harness connection above the valve cover
