"96 E4OD o/d cancel Switch"
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-May-02 AT 07:11 PM (EST)]Yo Gang,
1996 Bronco, 5.0, E4OD; 64k miles.
Serviced by Ford @ 30k/60k miles (filter, compl. flush)
Runs great w'Good fuel economy and tranny shifts well.
But.........
TCIL LED light does NOT shine when starting. BUT, drive a few feet and it lights. It Does NOT blink. just lights up in OFF position.
Try to shut LED off w/switch to no avail (at idle and at speed).
At speed, O/D pulls in ok, but LED stays lit.
Will drop to 3rd, if pressed again. LED still lit though
More:
... Stop, shift to Neutral, and LED goes off.
... Shift to Drive and LED lights up...
Still, it doesn't Blink nor seem dim.
Anyway of testing the switch/LED assy.? Maybe a short?
I took it out easily sooooo, any advice is welcome.

There has been a problem with the wires to the OD light chafing and wearing through in the steering column. That's probably where your problem is.

Mark,
Our local good guy mechanic mentioned that possibility yesterday. Taking Bronco to him @ 0830. He can scan and repair any non-internal prob.
Still, not blinking and tranny shifts well.
Will post results asap.

update...No codes found.
Fuse blown (yep, I checked myself but the 2 fuses (iaw owner's guide)I checked yesterday were A-OK.
Mike, our local mechanic said the wiring was ok, not shorted anywhere along the path from the tcil through the steering column.
Tranny still shifts great and the LED is off now. It will light when I cancel OD.
Also, all other items on the same fuse work...chime, etc.
So all is well today in jerseyland!
