Just got my BJ8 back from resto. One thing I noticed was that the overdrive throttle switch was not delaying coming out of overdrive like it used to (should). When I talked to the resto shop about it he said the the new switches were calibrated to come out instantly. I decided to look for myself and found an article describing how to adjust the amount of throttle needed to disengage the O/D. When I made the adjustment it seemed like it worked, once, but was joined by a lot of smoke coming from the wiring harness and the overdrive relay also on the firewall. Of course the fuses were of no help. But what in the circuit could cause a meltdown like this?
I have a call in to the shop but was wondering if anyone has replaced their throttle switch recently (this one was from M***) and had any unusual happenings with it.
