When I purchased the car the od operator rod was always pushed in-I think engaged position. As I understand the operation all this does is mechanically prevent the solenoid from engaging-is that correct?


With the knob pushed in, OD and the solenoid have mechanically been ready to go into OD. Since it hasn't I'd start from scratch with power feed into the relay. If that is present, then the ground continuity starting from the governor pigtail connection thru the lockout and kickdown switches. Once you have those confirmed, then you can go for the harder stuff either in the governor or in the relay etc to figure out why the solenoid isn't coming in.

If you meant with the knob pulled out, then OD would have been mechanically and electrically locked out.
