Sensors to overdrive

[Javier]

I just started experiencing this problem the overdrive is going out intermittently. I have a 1989 automatic 4wd is there anything different on the 4wd or is it just the solenoid, relay, and fusible link?

Does anyone know if the solenoid for a 2wd and 4wd are compatible or the same thing? I am looking at one on ebay right now since mine is non functional. I have a 1989 LE automatic 4x4Thanks!

If your solenoid is getting power and it's not shifting into OD, then (and only then) should it be replaced. And yes, these are the same on all van transmissions. Volvo also used this same solenoid with the only difference being the single wire terminal end (a review of this thread should give details and part numbers). Tim

Thanks for the support, I have checked all the possible causes and the solenoid is faulty.

I just replaced the od solenoid with a brand new one I ordered from Ebay $+180 delivered, works like a charm and shifts like a dream

Not to break your heart but this is an option as well.
