This page says that the relay which controls the solenoid locks and unlocks the conveter. Ron
I know it's just semantics but, with no power on the solenoid, it locks up...power unlocks it so one (not me) could say that the solenoid locks and unlocks the clutch but in a passive way on the lock and active way on the unlock.
Without power it'll unlock too, just not at part throttle. It's a fail safe design.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
