On my '88 auto 240 the first thing I've done when I bought it a few years ago was to open the fuel pump and overdrive relays to resolder the bad connections as a precaution, just to find that there were already bad soldering from the factory. Next was to open the OD switch and power windows switches to clean them, and all of a sudden the power windows actually worked at normal speed. The OD also switched much better than before (button would not do much).

Even if the relay switches over, it does not mean the relay contacts are sufficiently connected to the relay terminal. My first bet would eb resolder the relay, then get a good quality contact cleaner spray that does not attack plastics and squirt it into the switch. But don't do both at the same time, always 1 job and then check what the difference is.

Have fun...
