Want this question answered?
The overdrive ON / OFF switch is located on the end of your gearshift lever ( P R N etc. )
Anytime you don't want the transmission to shift into overdrive * if you are towing something , or if you are driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly shifting between drive and overdrive , you can use the button on the end of the gearshift lever on your 1998 Ford Expedition to shut off the overdrive ( the word OFF will light up on the end of your gearshift lever )
Overdrive is the normally allowed position , but if you don't want the transmission to shift into overdrive push the button on the end of your gearshift lever ( P R N etc. ) Your O/D OFF light will light up in the dash .
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
Shifts the transmission in/out of overdrive Shifts the transmission in/out of overdrive
On a 1997 Ford Expedition : It may not shift into overdrive until you are travelling around 50 MPH (80 Km/H) and you will see the RPM on the tachometer drop. * If the overdrive has been SWITCHED OFF using the switch on the end of the gearshift lever, then OFF will light up near the end of the gearshift lever.
I believe that is on the end of the gearshift lever ( P R N etc. )
There is a button on the end of the gearshift lever...pressing it toggles the "O/D disabled" on and off.
The transmission linkage connects the shifting the lever in the passenger compartment to the shifting lever on the transmission. You will find the shifting linkage on the side of the transmission.
It's on the end of the gearshift lever ( P R N etc. )
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.
No. Better to got wrecker's yard and get another.
