Overdrive button fix?

Anybody ever done it? '01 F-250.

I'm assuming its just in the wiring since its basically useless. No light, and I cant keep it out of overdrive.

I've just learned today on short notice that I'm going to be pulling my enclosed trailer (~8000lbs loaded) out of town this weekend, and I don't think it'll do it in overdrive.

Dropped by a few places in town to have it fixed, but nobody can get me in until saturday with the holidays here, and Im pulling out friday night!

Thanks guys, any help appreciated...

Dan

Just had the same problem with my 03 F250.... Did the same fix. Replaced the entire gear shift assembly. Mechanic said that there was a wire broke off inside the assembly.
