[Healeys] Intermittent OD failiure

[TERRY COLL]

Rich,

I'd guess its the dash switch.  I had a similar problem and went through 2 new
dash switches before getting one that worked OK.  It only takes a minute or
two to pull the switch out of the dash and then check for continuity with a
volt ohm meter.

Greetings Healeyphiles,
     for years, intermittently when I flicked the dash  switch to engage the
OD on my BJ8, the OD would fail to engage. If i kept on  flicking the switch
on and off, eventualy it would engage, especially if at the  same time, I
depressed the accelerator to the floor. The OD and selenoid were  rebuilt and
replaced three years ago. The problem existed before the rebuild and  after
but is
now becoming a more frequent nuisance. The relay switch on the  firewall was
replaced last year. The dash switch is original (1965). Is there  any way I
can
test the switch to see if it intermittently fails? I would guess  that this
occurrs once every twenty times I engage OD.
Thanks for any suggestions.
rich antal
