Greetings Healeyphiles, for years, intermittently when I flicked the dash switch to engage the OD on my BJ8, the OD would fail to engage. If i kept on flicking the switch on and off, eventualy it wou

I had a similar problem, but it was occuring more frequently, you can test by pulling the switch out and hooking it up to a multi guage with an ohm meter, when the switch is on resistance should go f

I'd guess its the dash switch. I had a similar problem and went through 2 new dash switches before getting one that worked OK. It only takes a minute or two to pull the switch out of the dash and th

Rich, my dash switch became intermittent recently and I took it apart to see why. There is a "floating" piece of brass in there that serves as a contact, and it had a lot of green corrosion on it. Af

I found an exact match for the switch on my BN1 at Ace hardware for about $3. Seems it used to be a pretty common pattern. Absolutely couldn't tell the difference. 5 years down the road and no proble

Greetings Healeyphiles, I drive a '65 BJ8 with an OD rebuilt ten years ago. At that time, the solenoid was replaced. Over the past ten years, the OD would occasionally fail to engage when the dash sw

I would start by adjusting the solenoid paying particular attention to the end float on the actuating shaft. (The spec for that is in the manual.) While you are doing that, check that the rubber pad

Hoo boy. Where to start ... First, there are O/D gurus on the List, I'll let them give specifics but, basically, diagnosing O/D problems--at least half of them are actually in the electrics (like car

Rick & Peter, I had a very similar problem with my overdrive. The Solenoid checked good without the car moving however, the pull down winding was weak and would not do its job when the car was moving

My first thought in reading this is that there is some flaky connections in the electrical circuit and you are getting too much of a voltage drop in the circuit for the solenoid to operate. Just bec

I have seen many types of OD failures, mostly adjustment related. The key is to measure valve lift and use that metric as final confirmation of adjustment. My service manual almost falls open to pag

More comments on OD adjustment. To make sure the solenoid is fully up, slack off the 7/16 head (1/4 inch bolt) on the shaft. Then actuate the solenoid. Holding the other side of the valve actuating r
