Yesterday I asked about the nature of the "click" when OD was
activated/de-activated (after re-wiring, mine seemed strange to me because I
didn't get a click on de-activation) - and also noted that road-testing was
not practical due to my gutted interior. Avi noted that my click
characteristics were the same as his, so this morning I put a seat in & took
a test-spin down the local thoroughfare. My gear-lever slide-switch is bad
(I've been playing with it with no luck), so my test consisted of
crossing/uncrossing the two wires going to the switch. OD works like new!
Crisply shifts both in & out, both 3rd & 4th. Amazing, considering that my
OD unit has been semi-dormant for 13 years. So now I don't feel too bad
about springing $30 for a new slide-switch (which looks to be worth no more
than $5), and am going to quit screwing around with the old one, and also
discard my thoughts of half-assedly rigging up a two-dollar toggle switch on
the dash or console.
I'm obviously as happy as a Daley with a rigged adding-machine. My
thanks to Avi & other Listers.
