How available are used running boards or should I just look at Merritt?

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.

solenoid and relay clicks when governor is bypassed

will double check and let you know results

Does your solenoid click when you bypass the governor? When I was playing around with my wiring I found that I had the power and governor wire on the wrong terminals. I don't have a kickdown switch so I don't know if that would give you grief. I am using a toggle switch on the dash to deactivate the governor and a momentary button to disable the ignition. Seeing that you have a governor bypass set up just turn your key on and stick your ear under the car and have someone hit your bypass and listen.

i have an extra chrome tail light assy with all the bolts still intact missing only lens, also another assy with lens abd bulb socket attached that has bad chrome outside. pm me and i'll let you have them for shipping cost only.

Yes they are usually powered by air. Just make sure you pick one that has a CFM rating that is in range for your compressor.

I am sure that someone makes a electric version also.

tested wires and had wrong one hooked up. went thru all the tests in the overdrive manual and electrical seems to work fine, but still no overdrive. wired switch form relay to ground at governor hookup so i could ground it while test driving and still no overdrive.any ideas why?
