VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  I was (partly) WRONG... 200 posted by  lucid on  Sun Mar 30 03:17 CST 2008 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sat Nov 7 19:56 CST 2009 [RELATED] ... in my post below, where at the end I added the following: Seems like most any simple relay would work, with a push-button switch (ON) and grounded thru the 4th gear switch (the "self"canceling" part). Solenoid current would be a consideration. That's dead wrong. A special "latching type" relay is required. The simpler relays would do just what you don't want — they would re-energize as soon as 4th gear was re-established. Once the ground is lost (by going out of 4th gear), the latching relay I described will not automatically "switch on" again when 4th is re-engaged. The energizing pulse from the OD push-button switch is also required. The simple On/Off switch on pre-'81 OD's that Randy suggests would also allow the unwanted "automatic" OD re-engagement you want to avoid. You need the combination of a PB switch AND the later (electronic) relay. P.S. Apologies for the duplicates below. The BB system was stalled for a short time I guess. -- Bruce Young '93 940-NA (current), 240s (one V8), 140s, 122s, since '63.
