Hello...
I've got a strange overdrive problem in my new 940(automatic trans). The overdrive off indicator(little arrow) will occasionally come on and off of it's own volition. Sometimes the light doesn't come on at all if I press the button. The overdrive will engage... sometimes. An example - I drove about 5 miles down the freeway to get the emissions test the other day and the overdrive didn't engage the whole way. It was a driveup testing facility so I didn't turn the car off the whole time while getting tested. Hopped back on the freeway and the overdrive engaged. I thought it might be related to if the car is warmed up or not, but I've driven the car around town until it's heated up, hopped on the freeway, and it still didn't engage.
I replaced the OD relay, but no change. I'm driving down to Portland(from Seattle area) on Wednesday for Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping I can get this sorted by then.
If this isn't something I can't get done by then - Are there any concerns about driving down there without the OD other than poor gas mileage?
Thanks!
