Default Changing the OD to OFF by Default

How do I change the function of the OD on my '86 with the 4+3 so that the OD is not automatically turned ON? I'd like the OD to be OFF by default so that it only activates when I push the button.

Change it in the chip bin. That was on the top my my list when I started playing with chip burning.

Actually there is a way to do it by the wires at the ECM. I did it this weekend HOWEVER my CRS is kicking in and do not remember witch wires they were.

Do a search and you will find it on here. That is how the guy that I did his car for found it and it worked

Yes there is, but it will require a new switch to replace the momentary switch for the OD. This also kills your automatic kick down (under load,OD off) and your auto OD in 4th (that one can go bye bye).

If you don't want to mess with the computer you could also run a relay from the starting circuit to ground the ovedrive switch. There's a starter interrupt relay right in the dash there you could use as your trigger source. Then you just need to ground it and run a wire to the downstream side of the switch, which is nearby.
