Best Answer

The O/D button will shut off ( or turn back on ) the overdrive feature of the

transmission . The overdrive feature is the normally allowed position but if

you push the O/D button it will shut off the overdrive and the O/D OFF light

to the right of your tachometer will light up

Bad news you need a new transmission. these were the first year type with o/d clutch pack instead of torque converter system. Simply put this is an internal problem complete rebuild. I went through 2 of these both ford OEM replacements the final solution was a Jasper Rebuild problem solved.

How do you remove and replace OD switch on floor shift lever on 97 Taurus?

I just took my 97 in to have the switch fixed. Not only was the switch not the problem but is worst now. The overdrive will not shut off and the ford dealer charged me 800 dollars to break the overdrive. Make sure you have a switch problem. I could not find much information in my manual which is why I took it to the dealer who then shafted me.
