HI Mike -

I am a 240 guy, but this might help anyway. On an automatic, the button on the side of the shifter handle switches the o/d on or off. The default position is NO LIGHT, tranny will automatically engage when conditions are OK.

If it won't go into o/d, and the amber arrow is OFF, it's likely a wiring problem rather than hard parts failing. On the tranny is the o/d solenoid, one wire to it. If the o/d IS engaged, and drops out by itself then there may be something that interrupts the power to the solenoid. Maybe a bad connector onto the solenoid? Maybe the relay (re-solder it anyway). Maybe a wire chafed en route to the tranny.

Good Luck on the car.

Bob
