1992 Ram no overdrive

From : someguy

Q: hi ive got a 1992 ram 150 5.2l 2wd with about 210k. i havent had overdrive for quite some time now and im finally getting around to trying to fix it -- truck shifts well other than that. im hoping its just a wiring problem computer has the overdrive solenoid code and the o/d on/off button on the dash will not light. i want to hook the solenoid directly to power to test it but i dont know where the wiring for it is. the haynes manual doesnt mention it at all. i thought that it was the orange/blue wire on the tail housing but that turned out to be the speed sensor. the only other plug i can find is a three prong that i believe is just neutral safety and reverse lights. does anyone know where the wiring for the o/d solenoid inputs into the transmission thanks .
