Guys, whaddya think? I think the relay is out. I tried replacing fuse 11 first and when I press the OD button I hear a **click** from where the relay should be, from behind the vent to the left of the glove box. The green light isnt coming on, either. Is it possible the bulb blew when the fuse went? I swear I can only feel two shifts. What gives? And If I leave it in a 3-speed mode, am I tearing up the car, aside from crappy gas mileage (hasnt seemed that bad) and having to change the oil more often?

"The green light isnt coming on..."

This implies your car has a 4spd-OD transmission.

"...leave it in a 3-speed mode..."

This implies your car has an automatic transmission.

Whichever you have, resolder your OD relay and try again.

What the Hell?? Hey. There is a "green light" associated with the 4 speed AUTOMATIC transmission W/ Overdrive. The fourth gear is considered the OD gear in this setup. The "green light" comes on when the OD lockout switch is depressed. You asshole.

"You asshole."

Nice talk, slick. With a brain like yours, your deserve a screwed up car -- in fact, you probably caused it!

AND YOU WANT OUR HELP???

Don't have the courage to post your name? It figures...

-------------------------------------------

The green OD light is found on 240s having a manual transmission. The orange "up arrow" is found on 240s having an A/T.

The lights work opposite to each other. An illuminated green light means that the manual tranny OD is on or engaged. An illuminated orange light (in an automatic car) means that the OD has been locked out by the driver.

If your car has a manual transmission and also has the green light, it simply means that you or some other moron installed the wrong instrument cluster.

No, Don. I want everyone's help BUT yours. There's an important distinction to be made there.

But. I digress. Oh. And you ask why I don't use my "own" name. Uh. Well. You've got me one again. I have to be honest here, big guy....


I thought you were going to hunt me down and take a poop on my lawn.


There. I said it. It's out there. For all to see.

I feel so much better now. Wait! Is that you out in my driveway with five gallons of BLUE-BOOSTER?? Omigod, Don! I diddnt mean it! Jaysus!!



Oh wait. Just the mailman. My mistake.


Anyhow. Don, I forever cower in the eerie green glow of your intellect.


Which is NOT to be confused with the one associated with your after-shave lotion... But, again, I digress.



P.S. Don. You seem to be fond of quoting me in your responses, so here's one you can use if you have the stones to continue this juvenile-little-retard- cock-fight-thing we've got ourselves into...


"Don Sucks Ass!" --Yeah. That's right.


Thanks. (And apologies to everyone else. Sorry. Had to vent. No mas.)


XOXO Josh

"I thought you were going to hunt me down and take a poop on my lawn..."

No need to. You do enough for everybody.

"You seem to be fond of quoting me in your responses..."

Yeah, you're so......

...clever....

"...this juvenile-little-retard- cock-fight-thing we've got ourselves into..."

Read back through the posts and see who cast the first insult. And while you're at it, read through the other thread and see who started that one, too.

Josh, you are a piece of work.

Thanks for the entertainment.

By the way, you have the wrong cluster in your car. Your OD light should be orange.

Hey. Don. I'm sorry. Had a tough week at work. Plus, I had the misfortune of having a guy respond snip-ply to one of my other posts, and when I came across one of yours' that kinda seemed in the same vein, I kinda got a wee pissed. And as far as context goes, well the internet doesn't cast the best light on things sometimes....

So. There you go. I apologize for insulting you and your aftershave-glow-problem. Hopefully you can get a dermatologist to look at that there for you...I know it burns, but hang in there. They've got a balm for that, I assure you.


Buds? (Really)


P.S. Yes, I am clever.


All my best

Josh
