i just got a 94 ford f150 xl and the overdrive light is light up saying off if u push it again the light will shut off idk if its on or off and i dont have a manual so if anyone has a idea just let me know

you should drive the truck with the light off......... everytime you start the truck it should reset... you never have to push the button unless you are towing or in heavy hills...

bobkyle2

so next time you get in and start the truck... dont push the button.. and you should be good to go

For future reference...if you push the button and the light comes on, that means the OD is off, if you push the button and the light goes out, it means you now have OD turned on.

yea thats what i figured but everyone was saying why would the light be on if it was off and i was saying why would it light up off if it was on lol

It is counter-intuitive. You want O/D on all the time for normal driving. The light should be off.

Pressing the button for towing/hilly areas will turn overdrive off and the light will be on.

So...
O/D on=light off (normal/everyday driving)
O/D off=light on (towing/hilly terrain)

where is live there are MANY hills, curvy roads, and hills with curves.. lol.. So I take mine off lots to keep the RPM's up. I find that if I leave the OD on the truck shifts WAY too much.
