Next, while driving, I'd switch the OD on and reach over to feel that the lever on the passenger side of the OD was indeed moving. It turns out that it wasn't moving far enough. A little push and the OD would engage. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500999292904_3169" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1500999292904_3169" dir="ltr">After trying several things, the fix was to replace the (possibly original) solenoid.
