Why didn't you resolder the *#&*Q#*&%*#@&% Overdrive Relay? 200 1990

Jonathan --

"...can the OD fail w/o the dash indicator coming on?"

Sure.

As I've said about a gazillion times on the BB—maybe more than a gazillion times—RESOLDER THE DAMNED THING.

Meanwhile, remove the relay, pop off the plastic cover, and examine the backside of the printed circuit board. Look carefully (using a magnifying glass) at the larger solder connections.

If you see cracks, push into them (or "stake" them) using a sharp tool, such as an awl or a thumb tack. Because solder is soft, you'll deform it enough to make contact 'til you can resolder the connections.
