ZF to AW tran conversion- OD wiring 700

Hi There, I've pretty much completed a ZF to AW tranny conversion (many heartfelt thanks to whoever compiled the instructions here at Brickboard) but I've run into a wall with the OD wiring. The instructions said I'd be able to locate existing wiring by the fuse box in my '86 740 but after fairly well
dismantling the fuse box area I can't locate any spare wires. Also, while there are slots in the fuse box where a relay could be mounted, there are no wired receptacles. Is it "quite possible" the wiring doesn't exist in my model? If not, and I need to rig something up, don't I just need to run 12V to the OD solenoid and maybe a light to show on/off, the ECU doesn't need to be brought into the loop does it or are there any other considerations? Thanks Mucho, Willin
