overdrive light is out

I've got a '99 explorer with a automatic tranny. the tranny is fine and the overdrive button works, it will take it out of over drive. the problem is that the light doesn't come on when overdrive is off. does anyone know if I can fix this?

the only indicator light to tell you that the over drive is off is in the gear shifter right?

how do you take the end off?

is there a bulb or LED that is replaceable?

Isn't the OD light off in the dash? If so, it's probably just a burnt out bulb.

is the bulb in the dash or is it in the shifter handle next to the button?

I had a 99 f-150 that had the light in the handle

My 95 has a bulb in the dash that says OD off when you push the button on the stalk in.
