My 1991 745 turbo has the overdrive switch on the shifter, and when I depress it, the light (orange arrow) goes on, but when I am driving, it actually has no effect. I notice that when I depress the switch and the light goes on I do not hear any relay click...could the light be good but the relay be bad? The car automatically goes into overdrive, but I am not able to turn it off (not that I really need to - I just want everything to work the way it is supposed to).

Thanks.
