OD Light on shifter
I have a problem with the OD Off light. The transmission will shift out of OD amd into OD correctly. The problem with the switch is that the light will not come on when switching out of OD. I have replaced the switch with a new one from FORD and the light still does not work. My question is what else could be wrong a disconnected wire?.
Thanks

There is a WH/LG (I'm assuming White w/Light-green stripe) wire that goes from the light (LED) to the PCM. The other wire from that light goes to the switch, which since it works, is not the problem.
It goes to pin 12 of the PCM. If this wire is connected all the way through, the PCM output for the OD light is bad. Which means a new PCM.

well mine kept blinking on & off, but the tranny didnt shift in & out thou. my problem was the VSS sensor, but when the OD light would blink the speedo would quit working as well. this is just a thought cause that sensor can cause many problems

od light
you can also replace the the shifter , as it comes with the wire already in it. It's just plug & play

When you say you replaced the switch, was the entire shifter lever? Or just the switch on the end?
The other guys are right, there is a chafing issue with the shifter. A wire could have broken right there. I though since you changed the switch, you changed the entire thing.
