    You can bypass of the OD relay by replacing it with a jumper wire at the relay harness connector plug and connecting these two terminals together:
    • Input terminal #15 (2 wires, a Blue-Black and a Gray on '92)
    • Output terminal #87 (White wire)

    A good-fitting jumper can be made with 3" of wire having flat male crimp-on terminals on each end that are the same size and shape as the relay terminals.

    This jumper wire will simulate a relay that is always energized — which is its normal state until the shifter button is pressed.

      because you are still dealing with the wiring harness going down the shifter and under the car At our shop we pull the relay remove the wiring under the car and modify the OD solenoid which takes 2 to 3 minutes. Undo the two 10 mm bolts holding on to the trans.Throw away the inner (small) 'O' ring. use your die grinder and carve a channel from the centre to the outer "O" ring channel. About an 1/8 inch deep grove. fit a new outer "O" (large) ring and re fit solenoid. This is simpler and cleaner and you solve future wiring problems
