I had this problem about ten years ago on my 1990 740 GL. The problem was actually a defective relay. The relay is controlled by the button on the gear shift knob and is used to prevent going into 4th gear when towing. It is located among all the relaysbehind the ashtray in the center console panel. Behind all the fuses. At that time I went to the Volvo dealer and bought a new relay and from that worked out which relay to change. In those days it cost me about $45.00. Has worked fine since then. Good luck. You must to isolate the source between the Overdrive relay or the Overdrive solenoid and the overdrive switch at the shifter. Ignition on, engine off - Push the overdrive switch, if you can ear a light click the relay and the switch are probably Ok, check the overdrive solenoid at the transmission. If you don't have the click you have to trouble shoot the switch to see if it's working. - Check continuity to the switch and the 12 volts. - If evething seem to be OK, change the Overdrive relay Good luck
Yes I just did that to mine, and it works great. No problems.
