I just joined the site this week after seeing the article in the NY Times a few weeks ago.

My '87 760 Turbo with automatic trans has had a dull intermittent glow from the overdrive dash light for sometime. I just ignored it.

This week it stayed on bright all the time and depressing the gear shift overdrive switch did nothing to cure the light problem. I also noticed that my tranny would not proceed past third gear and the overdrive dash light remained a bright beacon of warning.

I read the many helpful posts here and first checked the fuse. Checked ok. Then I checked the relay and saw some aged soldering. After a quick 30 second solder I replaced the relay and all is ok.


Thanks to all the many dedicated brick heads on this site.
