The overdrive relay handles the light on/off separately from the solenoid on/off. So it's possible to get what you got - all light and no action.

Two problem areas. The relay has in it a circuit board with soldered connections that - over years of vibration and temperature changes - crack and stop properly working. It is an easy fix to re-solder the relay. Look in the archives for a post from Don Foster, has pictures, too.

The other area is the wiring to the solenoid. I can help trace it in a 240, but 740s I don't know.

Good Luck,

Bob
