Yesterday my overdrive ('69 Saginaw/Borg-Warner) decided not to engage. I have it set up with a reminder light when it hits 30mph or so and I couldn't recall whether I was hearing the all too familiar 'click' of the relay.

Today, got out for a drive and the od is working as normal.

My question, is it possible for a Bosch relay to start to fail by working intermittently or is it like the heart muscle 'all or none'?

This form, including the same relay and solenoid has worked without fail for four years, dd/only vehicle.

Any insights folks?
