Normally the overdrive is allowed , so the overdrive OFF light does not light up When the overdrive is switched off , the overdrive OFF light will light up to let you know that the overdrive has been switched off
Overdrive on is the normally allowed position , if the overdrive switch is pushed that is located on the end of the gearshift lever the word OFF is supposed to light up
Could be a bad overdrive solenoid switch or relay. No, I don't know where they are on this car.
yes we're here, we have arrived, get ready, to pump it into overdrive! go, go, go, yeah! drive, drive don't give in; pump it into overdrive; win!
it will show on your dash
Are you assuming that your overdrive is not working? I have same problem, no indicator on dashboard to say overdrive is on or off and revs about 5000rpm at 70mph so I know overdrive is the problem. I will try to run a live feed to the one of the wires going to the overdrive switch. Does anyone know where fuse for O/D is??? Also clock flickers and interior ligh doesn't work if it's related????
the Police State is in overdrive .
Plain and simple the overdrive switch is pmost definitely bad take to a professional if you don't know what your doing,go to a shop that specializes in electrical work NOT THE DEALER,they will tell you your overdrive is burned out.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position ( in overdrive the engine doesn't rev as high , the gas mileage is better , the transmission will run cooler etc. when you drive at higher speeds )
On a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria : Overdrive is the normally allowed position , although the transmission will not shift into overdrive until the speed is higher If the overdrive is switched off , on the gauge cluster just to the right / and above the speedometer you will see the O/D OFF warning light ( if you have the digital dash it will show overdrive off in the upper right )
The car is normally in overdrive. When you press the button the left side of the gear shift then there should be a light on your dashboard should come on saying o/d OFF.
Not sure what you mean by "immediately". You do know that overdrive doesn't kick in until 50 mph (80 kmh)?
