I have a few ideas and could go 50/50, but I would like to ask the audience first....pleeeeeease.

Hi John, these are the symptoms of an open circuit in the resistor circuit. May be the wiring that was connected for the shift kit, that you removed, is still open somewhere at the resistor.
The light staying on? no idea. But I would check the wiring around the resistor, as it is open somewhere.
The solenoid buzzing is mainly the A, thats why it reduces as you push the throttle. They buzz because there is no oil flow through them.
Harvey.
