Default Transmission Solenoid..

Does anyone know why this won't work? I have plugged and unplugged the blue ish plug twice without any luck.... Any ideas? I can't shift except for 2nd and third.... (Still okay to drive but would like my other gears...)

I get codes for like everything. Im not sure if the control is seated properly... ect.. I had some severed wires on the harness but repaired them maybe they came loose? I tied them and put soder on them. held pretty good when try up top... But I do have 2nd and 3rd gear...

This is because of my swap btw. Everything else except the speedo works...

Just a thought, Would a ground wire affect this? I noticed three on this harness my other one had 2 but I had to cut it, Would the ground wire do anything>
