87-740 AW72L overdrive issue. Replace, repair, disable???

posted by  someone claiming to be Lawrence on  Sun Mar 16 15:43 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Thanks for clarification on short vs open.

All else has been tested and cleared. Relay, switch, light etc.

With the connector under the car disconnected I measured voltage on the wire coming from inside car. Got a consistant 11.7 volt.

But, when I install vom in circuit, I got know voltage until I moved the wire at the solenoid. I did that repeatedly to make sure.

Then I secured wire in a position to maintain electrial flow.
Last night od would not operate. However, wife drove car this morning and it operated flawlessly.


I'm assuming its a wiring problem where the wire abuts the solenoid.
Can this be repaired.
