Overdrive kicks in after ten minutes. 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe S. on  Thu Apr 28 03:21 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello,

My '88 760 Turbo did the same thing a few years back. When the problem started, it did engage when warm (after 10 miles or so), as you said. After a week or two, it would not engage at all, no matter how warm the transmission fluid was. I replaced the soleniod and have had no trouble since. As the others have said, I would assume that the switch, relay, and fuse are okay being that you can toggle the lamp with the switch.

I hope this helps...
