Default O/D won't go off

My overdrive light never comes on. When I start the car, the diagnostic doesn't turn the light on and even when I press the button to turn it off....nothing. I just figured the dash was having issues, but I actually tried to turn it off and drive and noticed that my overdrive was still kicking in. Anybody know what would keep me from being able to turn off O/D?

Nope, the only trans issue I have is that it won't hold more than 450hp.

If anything it sounds like the switch for O/D is bad.

Hmm I guess I'll take the shifter apart tonight and see if anything looks fishy. Thanks anyway.

I have a similar issue but my o/d button works and appears in cluster, if i turn it off nothing happens im still in 4th gear cant downshift to 3 rd gear. Could there be a module that controls the o/d downshift? I want to be able to reach 3rd... im running an aristo j3 with single gte.. any advise plz
