Short answer -- I was wrong. 200 1984

When I read, "Replaced the wire from the interior to the bullet connector at transmission..." I made a short jump to the wrong conclusion, by linking the term "bullet connector" to my mental image of the manual's 4th gear switch.

Which means that to this point we've wasted 4 posts because the original one assumed that all 240s have an auto-box. And my "tip" was technically garbage, possibly misleading other readers who will carry that "wisdom" forever, maybe even passing it on as BrickBoard gospel. What a wretched start to my day.

Feel free to clean up after me, if you think think the problem is other than relay-based. Although with no Upshift light when the relay clicks, it seems like it must be more than a burned out voltage trace from 15.
