I don't have one to look at but the Borg-Warner manual figure 3 & 5 say knob pushed in, shows lever end pointing away from solenoid. Solenoid is able to move pawl so OD possible. Figure 8 says knob out, lever points toward solenoid and pawl prevented from moving so locked out.

Solenoid OK, then it appears your looking at mechanical.

One thing worth looking at is the adjustment of lockout lever. Last year someone had mentioned his cable had gotten loose and slipped so the lockout lever was not making full travel. Don't remember which OD unit that was on but an easy check. Just disconnect lever & clevis and see if it can move any further. If it can, adjust so when knob fully engaged lever is a maximum. If that's OK, then time to start looking internal.

If you've verified the solenoid is actually energized and not just a relay click then it almost has to be mechanical.

Sometimes the relay can sound pretty loud. If there is any question, remove the large black-yellowish wire from relay terminal that goes to solenoid. Use your bypass to energize the relay then touch the solenoid wire back to the terminal. If you hear the solenoid clunk for sure, then start looking at mechanical things.

Gerd: It was in March 1929 that GM bought a controlling interest in Opel as you pointed out. However by Octobe 1931
GM obtained total control of Opel. It cost GM almost $67 million dollars to obtain complete ownership of Opel by 1931.

Loyd: I try and stay away from political matters here in this forum. However in this case I feel that a response to you is in order.

By you using the the following terms,

Perpetrated by our government

Drive by media

You let your your far far right Republican conservative
slip show. Those terms are used by the screw ball drug addict Rush Limbaugh and the far right wing wackos that work for Fox.
