Studying schematics of the BW overdrive system makes perfect sense to me until the Double Pole kick down switch is engaged.
The first step of the kick down process is to break the ground circuit to the relay/solenoid that alone should allow the system to drop out of OD. The second stage creates a new circuit to the solenoid that presumably forces it out of OD.
Why does the second phase draw its current from a distributor post ??
My curiosity is driven by the notion of a secondary kickdown mounted on shift or dash. Easy to break the circuit, phase one. But, phase 2 gets interesting.
