Re: Overdrive 200 84

The relay on my '83 240 was tucked in behind the dash just to the left of the glove box. You do need to remove the glove box but that is easy, just remove the screws around the top and bottom and lift out. I use a low wattage soldering pencil from Radio Shack (25-30 watt) and rosin core solder, NOT acid core. You will be soldering on a printed circuit board so excessive heat needs to be avoided. A good solder job "wets" the copper foil so that the solder flows onto the foil smoothly. A poor solder connection tends to look like a drop of water on a waxed car. If you've never soldered, get a throw away portable radio at Goodwill with a printed circuit in it and practice on that. Radio Shack may still sell a booklet on construction tips which will show how to solder. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Good luck.
