Answer
Hi Lou,
Relay is located behind the ashtray. Should be taller white relay.Remove the tray directly above the ashtray also to make removal/installation easier.There is a cover around the cigarette lighter, simply pull that off. Remove the two screws and the tray will pull right out.When the arrow is on the overdrive is locked out.When the light is off the overdrive will be allowed to function.
