Default 5 codes! no overdrive, no cruise, burned fuse 5C

OK, guys, first happy new year!

This is my 96 SE, now with 174k. It runs great for quite a while. Powertran is in top-notch condition.

The title pretty says it all. 5 codes:
p0753,0758 (Shift Solenoid 'A' Electrical,Shift Solenoid 'B' Electrical)
p1651 p1652 (cooling fan relay 1 & 2)
p1864 (TCC Enable Solenoid circuit)

Burned 3 fuses (5C, cooling/transaxle, 10A) since yesterday, including a 20A.

The car doesn't run in OD. 3100 rpm at 70 mph. No cruise control. Gets a hard time going from stop to 10 mph (2500 rpm required). After 10 mph is passed, it runs fine except no OD and CC. With a new fuse, everything becomes normal. But that wouldn't last long because the fuse would be burned again any minute.

I am guessing a relay controlling the transmission is dying or dead. What do you think? How many relays do we have for this purpose and where they are? can I find maps/pictures of them? Can I find electronic diagram of suspected portion? Thank you very much and happy new year!

Check the relays in the maxifuse panel under the hood. Sounds like your running in limp home mode.

Thanks. But now I realized that the fuses all got burned when there should be an action in the transmission. I also found out that the fuse controls 2 coolant fan relays and 4 transmission solenoids. Two of the fuses were burned when the car was very cold, so I don't think it'* because the coolant fan relays.

So now the a million $ question: how hard is to replace the solenoid (*)? Of course I will verify that it'* the cause before I take the tranny apart. From what I found, I (only) need to take out the tranny side pan to replace them but how? Is it something quite difficult to do? Thank you very much!

Ok, an update. I have checked the resistance of all the solenoids inside the transmission. They are all beautifully within specs. So now I do think the transmission is fine, (at least it shouldn't burn the fuse). So what'* next? I did check the fuses under the hood and the 2 coolant fan relays and they are all fine. Thank you very much!

Start checking the wires for a short.

I did actually. I have finished the portion inside the hood and it'* fine. I did found several other wires got partially burned behind the EGR, . I started working on those inside the car just now but man, so many, . It looks quite scarily with so many wires out there. Is there a good manual I can look at? Thanks. I don't want to mess up anything.

The best manual you can get is a factory service manual for your year. Ebay should have them.
