If I want my OD to be on all the time (I do not tow nor do I drive in hilly areas, thus do not need the OD on/off switch function)can I just leave the jumper on the relay.

Answer assumes you have a 240 series. It wastes time and posts when you omit your car details. Jumper is doable on 700/900 but not as easy.

You'll have to remove the relay and replace it with a jumper wire in the relay harness plug (or relay rack).

Make up a jumper with a 1/4" flat push-on terminal on each end.

Connect the plug socket with the Blue & Gray wires (formerly to relay #15), to the socket with the White wire (formerly relay #87, to solenoid).

The Arrow light should stay off because there will no longer be a ground on the Yellow-Red wire that went to relay #87a and thru the relay to ground.
