That was my first thought, but with the flackmaster's provisioning, I replaced the relay and it made no difference, hence under the car we go.

The actual diagnostics require grounding the governor, which I did, to hear clicks. Which I did, but only at the relay, not the solenoid.

Then, if there was no click at the solenoid, you test #4 post on the relay for power (with key on and OD cable in) and if there is less than 5.5V, the relay is bad.

When doing the ship test, I have no power at #4 on the relay. The diagnostics said Replace the relay. I did that, but that obviously didn't solve the problem.

But now, Driving, the governor works, the red light comes on and that's it.
Free-wheeling.
