Forget the light. Listen to the motor and/or look at the tachometer. When the overdrive is engaged, the motor will run slower at the same speed. The slower the motor runs at any speed, the better gas milage you get.

Should you use overdrive when driving a 2000 ford explorelimited?

Overdrive is the normally allowed position . It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway . On my 1995 Ford Explorer it doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm travelling about 50 miles per hour ( if you are towing or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly downshifting then you don't use overdrive )
