Now I get it. Overdrive is 4th gear - pushing the button de-energizes the solenoid and downshifts into 3rd

thanks for all the suggestions. I have driven 240's for over 20 years and have never used the "downshift" aspect a single time (except when accidentally pushing the button going 70, which scared the be-jesus out of me).

I will try applying 12 v directly to the solenoid and see if that activates it. If it doesn't, I will need to get the solenoid removed for replacement or alteration.

will report back.
John
