When I first start the car, the orange arrow indicator is on and the whole electrical system feels bogged down (dim lights, low rpm, low fan speed, etc) like it's weak. This is what the car does:
Stepping on the gas causes the orange indicator to go off, which also eliminates the bogged down feeling OR if I press the overdrive button instead of stepping on the gas, it too eliminates the bogged down feeling, but the orange indicator is still on. If press the overdrive button a second time, the light goes off.
Someone on here told me the overdrive relay needs to be replaced. But I noticed online there is also an overdrive solenoid and overdrive switch. I don't know what these parts are or do, so I'm not sure which one to replace. I can't afford to replace all 3. Based on my car's symptoms, which do you think I should replace? The car is for sale and someone is coming to look at it this weekend. I want to fix this problem before they come!
