We got one used because it was available, in town, and it was Dec 22.

The service has been done in two shops; one where my son attends school, one here. The shop here examined the work on the solenoid by the other shop and didn't report a problem, and only found the relay as a possible problem when tracing for electrical issues (for which they kindly didn't charge). We are using the specified 15 amp fuse, and haven't boosted its size to avoid blowing the fuse. We really don't want to burn the car up, at least not accidentally.

We'll try testing the kick down cable to see if it is hanging up, and other things. If necessary, I'll have yet another shop check the wiring at the solenoid if the problem recurs. In the meantime, I remain open to suggestions, but would prefer not being second-guessed when trying to patch this thing together quickly for a son on a limited budget.
