Bill,

What hot sun? ☀️ 🌞 We live in New England. 🙃

This might be helpful. Just remembered this drama. I had a similar issue with my 90 240. No OD. I too thought it was the OD solenoid. Was preparing to replace it. On the 240 you could reach it with jackstands (I’m sure ramps would work) but it is in a difficult spot. So, I considered replacing it or installing the bypass kit. Then I got lucky. Read on the BB about folks having issues with the wiring running to the solenoid. The wiring rubbed on the almost sharp bottom edge of the transmission tunnel near the shifter opening. Wire was bare and badly corroded. Replaced wiring and voilà OD was back! BTW - Another spot the wiring can go bad is where it connects to the solenoid. This wiring issue might not apply to 940’s but still worth checking out!

Personally, I would only do the bypass as a last resort. Try every other possibility first.
