On the 2000 Ford Explorer XLS model, it is a push button feature that is located on the Gear shift on the Steering column.
OD= Overdrive. There will be a switch to engage/disengage the OD located on the shifter, or on the console in close proximity to the shift lever. It should even have a marking on it.
It should. If there is a switch on the dash or shifter lever that is labeled OD off, you will know for sure.It should. If there is a switch on the dash or shifter lever that is labeled OD off, you will know for sure.
The OD light on dash stands for Overdrive. There is a button (usually) on the end of the turn signal lever. Some cars the button or switch is on the dash. If you push the button/switch the light will change to OD or OD on (may even go out) then you will be in overdrive. Being in overdrive is good except for steep hills or pulling a heavy load.
sounds like you need to replace the OD switch in the shifter.
I have a 1996 Prizm LSI and the OD switch is a small round button on the side of the shift lever. You could have accidentally switched it off and that is why you get the light.
i had the same problem,mines a 89 too. that being said,mine has the switch on the Console,Not the shifter,and i discovered i had to run a power supply to the middle pole,then switch works fine. i did this by running a Good wire from fusebox to switch,from Power lead that Only comes on when car is running. otherwise,it will stay on all the time n kill your battery. anyone know what that button on the Side of the shifter knob is actually for?
On the upper dash right of the steering wheel next to the overdrive (OD) switch
The OD of switch is a simple on/off switch input to the engine computer. You should be able to check it for a 5v feed and see if it has continuity when pressing switch.

Means the switch that stops the trany from using the overdrive is shut off. Usually a switch on the shifter.
Mine is a '97 so not sure if yours will be the same or not, but mine is located on the end of the gear shift lever; there's a little button right on the very end, and you push it in once to turn the OD off, push it again to turn it back on.
the switch is located in or on the transmission case
