Here what I know so far. These four tests were done with the battery out of the car.

There is continuity between the OD relay plug terminals 85 and 15 when in fourth gear but not in the other gears. Pressing the OD button during the test doesn't change the results.

There is continuity between the OD relay plug terminal 85 and chassis ground when in fourth gear but not in the other gears. Pressing the OD button during the test doesn't change the results.

There is continuity from the fourth gear switch on the side of the transmission to transmission case in fourth gear but not in the other gears.

The OD solenoid gives a consistent click when 12v are applied.

What is the next step to determine what is causing me to have to press the OD button three or four times in order to get it to shift??
