if the solenoid is anything like the d-type.... the solenoid takes a 20amp pulse to pull actuate. When the plunger bottoms out it hits a switch changing over to a different 'holding' coil that only uses ~1/2A to hold the unit engaged.

And curiously, leaving the ignition switch on, while engaging the od, the fuse does not pop. It seems to be only when the OD is actually operating at driving speed. Yeesh!!!!!

Oh man! Really? ...I guess it's good news in a sense because the 10 amp fuse popped again on first attempt at OD this morning coming to work. I've tried different solenoids, adjusting the linkage very very carefully. Not sure where to go next....
