Just a guess without any pictures is it's the transmission kickdown switch for the TH400.

Probably the electric kick down for passing gear on a Turbo 400 transmission.

yaa its the trans kickdown switch for the th400 as it don't have a tv cable like other trans do .

key hot power feeds the switch . then when depressed to the correct amount sends power to the solinoid in the trans and drops down 1 gear . single orange wire on driver side of trans .
