Weird OD prob - Relay? 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris Blunt on  Thu Aug 16 04:59 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My 1984 245 has the AW70 auto trans w/od.

Started the car today, and the yellow OD OFF light came on immediately - and stayed on. Tried clicking the switch on the side of the gearshift, and got no response whatever. Tried turning off the key and restarting. Same problem.

Started driving. Got up to speed, and OD would NOT engage. Switch still useless. I gave up on the switch. Finally, 2 miles down the road, there was suddenly a click. Light went off and OD engaged. After this, the switch worked normally. Got to my destination. Let the car cool off. When started again, everything normal.

Is my relay starting to go? I've heard about people re-soldering these relays...where is it located (somewhere behind the glove box?), and how do I fix it?
