Check the fuse.
The overdrive off light flashing - indicates a malfunction has been detected
NO, leave the overdrive on. Only turn it off when pulling a heavy load or in a mountainous area. Overdrive improves your fuel economy.
Overdrive allowed is the normal position - it actually won't shift into overdrive until the speed is higher
There is a push button on the end of your automatic shift lever. Pushing it in causes the Overdrive to turn on and off.
Overdrive is normally allowed , until the speed is up it won't shift into overdrive anyway
Hit the button on the end of shift lever, which takes it out of overdrive.
Round switch to left of steering wheel on the dash. Turn clockwise. Pull towards you for fog lamps (if you have them).
Your transmission gear selector has a " D " next to the " 1 " , if you select that position it does not shift into overdrive . It just uses the first 3 gears
The light will flash if the vehicle senses that you should be in overdrive (based on speed) but aren't. There should be a button on the end of your gearshift lever to turn overdrive back on. The only time you should turn that off is, for example, if you are pulling a trailer in the mountains. Turn OD back on and the light will stop flashing. If it doesn't stop then there is a problem with the transmission going into overdrive.
On a 1998 Ford E-250 : The transmission control switch is on the end of the gear selector lever Push the button and the word OFF should light up near the end of the lever when the overdrive feature is turned off
Overdrive is the normally allowed position If the vehicle is shut off and then restarted , the overdrive will be allowed To turn off the overdrive feature , the button on the end of your gear selector has to be pushed and the O/D OFF light comes on in your dash ( if you push the button again the O/D OFF light will go out and the overdrive feature is allowed )
