1995 Chevy Caprice mileage: 45,000. The electronic solenoids A & B have melted down. The transmission stayed in the safe mode. Is electrical failure possible - due to power supply surge or an increase in the number of amps sent from the computer module to the transmission solenoids? Transmission shop says "this is a major-major electrical problem" is it possible for this failure to be from defective solenoids. Transmission was rebuilt and had less than 1000 miles on it when it failed.

The computer does not determine the amount of amps, which are sent to the transmission. If the amps are too high going to the transmission, it is probably the result of a bad ground or solenoid. With less than 1000 miles on your transmission, it should be under warranty and taken care of by the transmission shop you took it to.
