My 95 dodge dakota, v6 lost its overdrive. The light on dash button to get out of overdrive stays on, and it won't kick into overdrive. I lost all radio power at same time . related??
@jim gleim,
quite possible.
the overdrive is electrically controlled on that transmission.
(check your fuses)
@Rockhead,
wow that was fast. I did think fuzes but just din't check, figured the two wouldn't be related
Rock is right, solenoid actuated overdrive is common. In fact, vacuum actuation throughout the automotive system has been/is being replaced with its electrical equivalent.
Witness the days of vacuum advance and vacuum wipers!
all the fuzes check out, guess i have to keep looking
@jim gleim,
You may be about to jump in the deep end...
If it is getting power but not engaging, the news usually gets bad fast.
(a schematic would be the next step)
Stumble It!
