O/D switch

[SHOBX]

Happy Holidays SHOForumsers!

My O/D switch no longer turns the O/D on or off. It's constantly on, fortunately (I guess). Any ideas as to why this is or how to fix it?
Thanks,

I heard once before that there is a wire coming from that switch that connects to the tranny and sometimes that connection to the tranny gets rusted or comes off. I am not 100% on that...and I am sure others will chime in.

Its typically on all the time, unless you turn it off, that's when the O/D light turns on(it shows the O/D Off light actually). I believe it is a normally open switch(on the shifter), it most likely a cut/pinched wire/or both wires.

I found this link.

Thanks, everyone, for the info. Once the weather breaks, I'll check it out

i cut, then spliced jumper wires in the console...then ran them under so i can reach down and touch them together... a little chincy but it works... well as long as you dont ground it out on accident and blow the number 7 fuse i believe...oops

Why don't you use a push button switch?
