And where does it go?

It's the solenoid that should be affixed to the back of your transmission retarder accumulator

Is there another line that goes to it?
Anytime I go to the green link it says account suspended
I searched for transmission retarder accumulator and nothing comes up
Snapped some pics for you

This is what was posted earlier. I was able to open the link.
There are more current posts than that link ten years ago. Keep looking, Scott had a reply in it.
Thanks all. I found where it screws into that accumulator with a nipple. It's strange, since there are 2 lines going to it- that it must have been loose forever. There is no way that it could back itself out and not have those lines get messed up. I'm cleaning it up and will remount it.
The only way to screw this back on, would be to dismantle the 12 volt part or remove the CAC pipe
You can lower the accumulator as we all had to do that to modify the mount for it.
That accumulator looks a little more than my strength can endure.
What is in the guts of the 12 volt valve?
Floor jack, block of wood and remove the bolts to the bracket leave the hose hooked up and lower just enough to put in your valve. Unless yours is different from my '99.
Well, no joy. Need someone that is better adept physically, then me.
Maybe you can at least see how the valve came out without turning. Are the threads gone on the nipple or the ones in the accumulator? That is going to have to be addressed.
Threads are fine. I could have threaded the whole business back together but the 12 volt actuator hits the CAC pipe. Thus, I asked if anyone has removed that 12 volt unit as to what is inside that valve. If I could remove that, without stuff falling apart, I can screw it together.
Strange, how did it unscrew with the lines attached? Also your retarder wouldn't have worked.
