I have a 1982 volvo 240 turbo, and my overdrive soleniod went out. I changed
the relay, and that didn't work. Does anyone know how to change the soleniod?
Thanks

Depends, is the car an automatic or manual?

I've never seen a solenoid fail except for one that was leaking. Make sure
you check all the wiring first, that's far more common to break.

I'm assuming this is a manual transmission with the Laycock OD unit.
Check the OD switch and wiring running down the shifter.

Disconect the wires and unscrew it from the overdrive case. Although
the elctronics rarely fail, if you have never changed the transmission
fluid it could be sticking.
