First, a specal thanks to Scott Kohl for sending me the missing spring return clip that I was missing from my new turn signal switch! Also to Daniel Parrott for offering to send me one, too. You guys are terrific!
After getting my O/D wiring harness installed, I tried it out last evening with the car still parked in the garage. I flipped the switch in the gearshit knob and I simultaneously heard loud clicks at the relay (kicking in) and the solenoid (being activated). But when I turned the switch back off, I heard nothing. I tried switching it on once more, and again, heard nothing. Please don't tell me that I just damaged something. Is this normal? Does this mean that the O/D solenoid is engaged and it's stuck in that position? I sure don't want to drive the car until I have this question resolved... Also, I am using a 1972 MKIV D Type O/D gearbox, which has provisions for a switch that I don't know the use for. The PO labeled it NEU or NEV (I can't tell which) and I don't know what this switch is for as my Mk3 wiring harness makes no provision for it. The mystery switch is on the right side of the gearbox, exactly opposite the inhibitor switch and forward of the reverse lamp switch. Can anyone tell me what this switch is for, and whether or not I need to bridge the connections to effectively disable it if it's not something I need to be concerned with?
