Click here to read about a variety of problems that could prevent the overdrive from engaging.

If your mechanic was working in the vacinity of the shifter he could have damaged the switch or wiring to the overdrive relay. The overdrive relay in your car is located behind the dash just to the left of the glove box opening. You access it by removing the glove box. It is a white relay about 1"x1"x2".

The switch completes a circuit that provides a momentary 12v to the relay which in turn will complete the circuit to the solenoid enabling the OD.
