John,
This may not be the solution to your problem. It may help though.
Check to see that there is a stop for the solenoid plunger to rest on while not
energized. If the plunger
falls too far out of the solinoid coil, the plunger gets caught at an angle
instead of going straight up into the solenoid when energized causing exessive
amp draw blowing the fuse. I found this to be the case with my type A
overdrive. I put a screw and nut in the bottom stop hole and adjusted the scew
until the plunger worked properly. Try moving the plunger and lever of the
overdrive unit by hand a couple of times. Then try the overdrive to see if the
fuse still blows.
FWIW,
Greg Perry

My problem: The fuse supplying power to the GREEN wires is blowing. The fuse
will not blow if I disconnect the overdrive on/off switch.
