Re: How to troubleshoot my overdrive?

OK, the relay is on the bench and yes, the coil is open. I guess that answers that!

When I momentarily short the SOL wire to the 6v supply I can hear the solenoid click in.

I checked the price of a replacement relay and it looks like $150. Ouch! I think I need to go shopping around a little bit and find a suitable replacement part.

Anyway, I don't want to burn anything up. However it seems, from looking at the diagram, that I ought to be able to safely connect the solenoid wire to the fused 6v supply and have (likely) a working overdrive. Would you agree with that? Do you think that would work for a while?
