Overdrive trouble.

I have a 2000 Expy and when I went to tow this week I pushed the end of the shifter to turn the overdrive off and it won't turn off.

Does anyone know what things I can look at to try to fix it??

Thanks

Is your O/D light on the end of the shifter flashing, by chance? I had the same issue with my 2002 Expy at 12,000 miles. There was a faulty sensor in the transmission which went bad. The dealership replaced the sensor and no problems since then. When you push the O/D button, does the light illuminate on the shifter to indicate the O/D is "off"? Might be the fuse for the O/D circuit.

It doesn't come on at all when you press it. Where is that fuse located?

This happened on my 99. Turns out the wire was cracked. Replaced the entire shift handle which included new wire. Check the fuse first though.
