new OD relay fixed my problem...or so I thought...... 200

A few months back, my overdrive indicator would go on by itself (and I would lose overdrive) spuradically. When it happened, I could not turn it back on by pressing the button on the stifter. It would eventually go off by itself.

A week ago, it happened again, but this time it never went back to normal. So after doing a bit of research, I decided that my OD realy was bad. Got the relay, installed it, and everything was back to normal....until today! Wheil on the highway, the OD indicator light came on again and I lost OD - it would not go back to normal.

Did my brand new relay just go bad?

Is there something that is burning up my relays? (when I removed my old one, I took it apart and discovered that one area of solder was corroded away)

Any other things I should look at?

thanks
