Overdrive switch supposed to "click"?

I just picked up this 01 F150 and the overdrive switch doesn't work. The fuse is good. I know about the potential wiring issue at the bottom of the shift lever which I will deal with if it is the issue, but before I get into it that far I might not overlook the obvious.

The button at the end of the shifter has a soft mushy feel with no "click" as might be expected from any normal switch. Is it supposed to click on and off or is it normal that I feel no "click" when I push the button? I'd rather switch out the button than rip out the lever and play with the wires if its obvious that the switch is actually the issue.

Never heard one click.... It's just a simple momentary contact switch.
