Hi Mark,

Look here for some details and photos, thanks to John Sims and his great web

site (sorry about the poor quality of the images. I should have taken more
and better photos).

Anyway, as for using your voltmeter, set it to read for -12V. Put the common

lead of your meter on the chassis. Put the other lead on terminal C2.

Turn on the ignition switch (don't start the motor). Turn on the O/D switch
(A on diagram).

You should read about -12V on your meter. That shows that the relay coil is
energized and the internal relay contacts (at C1 and C2) have closed.

Put the gear lever in 3rd or 4th gear. If you move the gear lever into first

or second you should hear the big solenoid (F) drop out with a click. I also

hear the solenoid click in when I move the gear lever in 3rd and 4th. With
the engine off you can hear this distinctly.
