[TR] Type A overdrive question

[Bud R]

Ron,

Check the wires on the OD column switch. I had a similar problem and it was
one of the wires on the switch that appeared to be connected but was broken
and would work/not work intermittently depending on the last bump in the road.

In addition, I also had a bad relay that happened about the same time that
caused me to chase my tail for quite awhile. Always fun when two things are
bad.

A careful soldering of the switch wire was needed and fixed the problem (along
with a new relay).
