AW 70 transmission.
Original switch(driver's side of shifter)and OVerdrive .Relay.
1 year ago,wife said Arrow comes on automatically occasionally in summer.Blamed it on her touching the switch acceidentally.Problem sporadic and infrequent.Arrow came on and stayed on requiring several presses to disengage arrow.Bought new shifter switch but problem went away and forgot about it.No problem in winter.
However,this summer,
Same problem again with me driving it this time,Arrow came on ,I may or may not have touched the switch.Touching the switch again would not disengage the Arrow on the dashboard.

Question:
Is the switch easy to replace,just pry out the small button and stick the 2-pin connector in to the shifter??????No soldering involved.

If not,I also have a spare overdrive relay bought from ebay,whole tray worth of spare relays.Is not more like the relay or the switch???????
