Default Re: Overdrive works with out wire to coil

RE Overdrive without an "on Off Switch" as in toggle or kick down.
The kick down switch was not working, it was removed and the wires from the relay and coil were reconnected without the kick down switch.
Overdrive didn't work.
To solve the problem, the + wire from the coil was removed. The wire to the governor stayed the same as was the other wire to the solenoid.
TEST DRIVE: All systems are GO. The governor cuts in at 28 mph and it drops out at 27 mph. Overdrive comes on after you let up on the gas at say 40 mph in 2nd or 3rd gear...........works great.
Gene told me that once the kick down switch was disconnected, the + wire from the coil was not needed......he was correct.
NOW: A on/off toggle switch can be installed on the wire to the governor if so desired.
