auto transmission
02 f-350 4x4 crewcab 125,000 miles
ive had this truck about two years and have never been able to shift from over drive down to drive just by pushing the little button on the end of the gear shift..
it never was a big deal until now i just installed an exhaust brake..
does anyone know if it is 3 speed with locking converter or is 4 speed with locking converter???
is there a trick to take apart the little button on the end of the gear shifter or does it just pop out some how???

I just replaced my button last week cause OD would not work..pretty common thing to happen...you can take the cover off of the steering column and see if the wire is frayed or broke and try to fix it..or get a new shift lever with the OD button for 50 bucks at a stealer and replace it..shifter with OD button dealer part # 5c3z5210aaa $50.08 ....maybe this will help

if it was blinking need to get a good code scanner and scan it to see if there are any codes. I would still check your wires to make sure. If the light blinked it should have stored a code until it is erased with a scanner tool.

the t/c lock will set that if you just hooked up a switch and turned it on at the wrong time...i get that with my t/c lock some times..but if OD never worked then id check the wires under the steering column
