Does the O/D light react when you press the button?

I would guess the switch is bad, but my '01 is a 5spd, so I don't have any experience with electronic shift trannys.

PS if it's just a couple of motorcycles you'll be ok in OD, just don't make a habit of it.

I agree with scottie, probably a a bad switch. Which engine do you have? If you have the 5.4, you'd probably be OK with the O/D on, but if you have the 4.6, I'd have it looked at.

Good Luck!

It could also be a broken or shorted wire running from the switch through the hollow shift lever, down the column, etc.
