AW overdrive wiring question 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Randy Starkie on  Sat May 19 06:37 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Recently purchased an 89 240 wagon. The overdrive light is on all the time. Pressing the overdrive switch causes the normal clicking in the relay. The solenoid responds to 12 volts supplied by jumper. Wiring under the car that supplies 12v to the solenoid is bare and will need to be replaced.

Spade #15 is 12v with ignition ON. #86 is 12v when the overdrive button is held in. #87 does not supply 12v at any time. Isn't 87 the spade that should supply 12v to the solenoid when the overdrive is switched ON? I've got a bag of misc. relays including four overdrive relays. None of these relays will cause 87 (white wire)to supply 12v to activate solenoid. What am I missing here- besides Don telling me to resolder all four relays :-)

Thanks for any insight.

Randy
