84 OD By-pass
So Im trying to figure out why my OD quit. It "was" working perfect. And I want to do the "by-pass the relay" mod. So my question is; Which blk/tan wire do I ground? I have 3. h

So you need to check the wiring/switches/ connections and the relay
Is the fluid level correct? Low fluid will prevent operation
None
You simply bypass the relay altogether
And if you have 3 tan/ blk wires you are looking in the wrong place

To by-pass it I need to connect the blk/tan to the blue correct? h

Look at the circuit diagram above
The relay is a electronic switch ; if you remove it then obviously you have to reconnect the wires that went into and out of it in order to complete the power circuit
to the O/d solenoid. (through the switch )

I read somewhere else it was tan to blue. It didnt make any sense to me (looking at the schematic) so I wanted to clarify. Thanks for the help! I will give her a shot tomorrow. Peace. h

If you really wanted to leave the relay in place , then you could join the blk and the grn wires together at the O/d switch and then run the tan/blk control wire
from the relay to ground through that switch so that switch would manually close the relay like the computer previously did when O/d commanded
