Thanks for all who responded.
The overdrive harness was pretty ratty so I went ahead and replaced it. The
solenoid now engages in 2nd thru 4th. Haven't driven it yet because I have
the prop shaft out replacing u-joints but I hope it is fixed. Another
question - the manual says that to engage o/d, you move the switch stalk to
the up position. Mine is the opposite. Is that possibly due to how the relay
is wired?
Thanks,
Bruce
