Overdrive is the normally allowed position It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway ( on my Ford EXPLORER I have to be doing around 50 miles per hour ) If you are towing something or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly down shifting then you want to turn the overdrive off and the OFF light will appear in the end of your gear selector lever

On a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria : If you have the overdrive switched off using the transmission control switch on the end of your gear selector lever ( P R N etcetera ) You will see the " O/D OFF " light above and to the right of your speedometer and if you have the digital dash it will show " overdrive off " to the right of the speed indicator
turn your ignition switch off and then on in rapid sucession four times dash lights will blink and code can be reset
Remove the tail light housing and replace the bulbs.
