Yes I just did that to mine, and it works great. No problems.
allows power distribution to the overdrive solenoid for overdrive engagement.
You probably mean Overdrive solenoid, on the transmission left side Hope it's help
If relay & fuse OK then you will need to remove overdrive solenoid from the side of the gearbox and clean it - gunk can build up around the small holes stopping the flow of auto fluid therefore stopping the gearbox going into overdrive. It can happen intermittently until orifices block completely .
Remove the fuse from the fuse box. Or remove the relay.
Check either: Solenoid, Wiring, Switch, or OD Relay.
Overdrive Solenoid
A common problem with alot of Volvo's is the Overdrive. Basically the high gear. If it wont shift into high gear it means that the "Overdrive" is activated and won't shift into high gear. You need to see if there is a little upwards pointing arrow on your Dashboard Cluster. If there is then you need to replace your Overdrive Solenoid.
The switch is on the shift knob. There is also a relay and solenoid. The most common problems are * Bad solder joints in the relay * broken wires at the switch * broken wires at the solenoid * bad solenoid For more info on OD problems go to http://www.brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/ It is the ultimate Volvo 940 DIY site.
The light indicates that Overdrive is off. The overdrive solenoid on the transmission has to be energised to allow the transmission to shift into 4th gear There are 4 common failures. Most likely first; * Bad Relay - The solder on the circuit board cracks. - open it and re-solder * Bad wiring * ** - Broken at the switch lights the light ** - Broken at the solenoid does not light the light * Bad switch on the shift lever * Bad solenoid Good Luck
behind the glove In the relay/fuse panel behind the ashtray. After you remove the ashtray and holder you will need to remove the box above it to access the relay
It's the overdrive engage button, which is like a 5th gear. It only engages when the gear lever is in 4th gear and it can be operated without depressing the clutch.
The transmission shift solenoid on a Volvo s80 is located in the gearbox. It is inside the side cover and not easy to reach.
