What causes a Ford Aerostar XLT not to shift into overdrive and stay in third gear no matter what speed you go?

my 93 aerostar did this, my problem ended up being the modulator valve on the transmission, a 13.00 dollar part at autozone, it was sucking tranny fluid into the motor, wouldn't shift right and was running terrible. you can tell if this part is bad by simply getting under the van, find the transmission pan, on the passenger side, on the pan lip(hard to see on a 93) there is a small hose connected to it, pull it off, if tranny fluid is in that hose valve is bad Another possibility is that the torque converter is bad. Thanks for answers. Oddly enough I replaced a fuse and overdrive worked??? *Where is that fuse located?*

That Is The Way Overdrive on your vehicle is designed to operate. Consider Yourself Lucky, You Are Not Overloading The Transmission By It Not Shifting Into Overdrive Until 45 MPH If It Shifted Into OD At A Lower Speed Say 25 to 30 MPH It Would Put Too Much Load On The Transmission That Most Likely It Would Fail Before Long.
