'99 F150 O/D Switch keeps blowing 5amp fuse

This is obviously a ground problem. Has anyone experianced it and how do you take apart the shift lever to get to the O/D button?

Any info will be greatly appreicated.

I also had a problem with mine. After awhile it stopped blowing fuses and wouldn't work all together. The dealership told me it was the wires down inside the steering column. Apparently it's a common problem and their solution was to replace the whole mechanism. Cost about $120.00 cnd. I let them do it so I can't tell you how to get at it...I was under the impression it was just easier to run a whole new wire set down inside the steering columm rather than taking it apart.
