  There is also an upshift relay, in position 4 on the fuse/relay panel.
Pull it, no light. If you have a Bentley, its listed in the electrical
section. If you don't have a Bentley, shame on you!. The relay is on the
next to the bottom relay row, 3rd from the right. Mine has the number 5 in
white paint on the front of it.
