Probably a dumb question, but overdrives are new to me.

I just got a 79 spitfire with the J type OD.  The car is not currently 
running.  While
I have the interior apart, I decided to test the wiring on the overdrive.  
I'm getting
current down to the solenoid with the OD on and the car in third or fourth 
gear as
I should be.  However I cannot hear the solenoid "click" on and off as I 
shift from
third to first (and yes the test light does properly go out as I shift to 
first).

Bum solenoid or does the engine need to be running for the solenoid to 
actually
make an audible sound?

Thanks!

Greg
