Good to hear the OD is working.

Check the wiring to terminal 7 (front side of solenoid) at the solenoid and make sure the terminal did not get bent and is touching the case.

When the relay energizes to power the solenoid it also provides power to the lamp turning it on. When the solenoid has fully extended and the pawl is pushed solidly into the sun gear a contact inside the solenoid opens and turns the light off.

For the lamp to stay on probably one of three things is happening. Since the OD is working the most likely cause is somehow the wire to 7 has shorted or the terminal was bent during the checks and is touching the case. If that is OK then the other likely causes is the contact inside the solenoid is not opening either due to it being damaged or the solenoid is not making a full stroke.
