Strange - most likely a relay problem such that it is failing to latch-on when triggered by the switch.

Another possible explanation is that the rewiring/soldering may have connected the Brown wire from the gear lever OD switch to the Yellow wire to the solenoid, thus bypassing the OD relay and forcing the OD to engage anytime the switch is held on....very bad idea. A test of this is to see if the OD will operate in third gear.
