Did you make any repairs under the dash just before having this problem?
Are you sure the solenoid power lead is connected to the correct side of
the switch? It would be impossible for the OD to engage only in 3rd
and 4th with the OD switch in the normal position, which you say it
does, without a source of power. Check under the dash for perhaps a wire
accidently touching the OD power wire. Something under the dash is the
culprit.
