I want to play around with the 'Two Flow Electronic (TFE) Steering' in my '36 Chevy. After putting a coupla hundred miles on my project, for the first time I took a look at this system today. Up to this point I had just left the ground wire to the actuator hanging so I have been running with decreased power assist all the time. Today I hooked up a jumper so I could manually ground the actuator. Sat out in front of my house playing around with it(engine on, car still, turning wheel a little). Could detect no difference, grounded or not. Put it back in the shop and ran a long jumper out near the pump. Just sitting there, engine off, key on, and grounding the jumper (on-off-on-off, etc) I could not detect the slightest sound or feel like I would have expected from a small solenoid. Its going to be a bit of a pain to pull it and I don't want to do that and find out its OK. When grounding/ungrounding the jumper I get a small blue 'snapping' spark like I would expect from a winding so I know there is a connection but maybe the solenoid is frozen. It did sit for the better part of 4 years. Anyone have any experience in this area?
Also, once I get by this problem, I am going to need to cobble in the 'Multi-Function Chime Control' black box. I have encorperated several other electronic functions from the donar car ('95 SSEi) requiring some of those other black boxes but I have never even seen a 'Multi-Function Chime Control' . My shop manual has a terrible drawing that is purported to show it but it really doesn't. Does anyone have a photo of one or at least can describe what it looks like? I would rather pick one up at the local scap yard than the dealer.

A better spot for this might be the Classics forum. I'll move it there.

Moving back after clarifying that some of the components are Bonneville components.

Dave, can you get into more detail here?
