HOW TO FIX OVERDRIVE BUTTON NOT WORKING FORD SUPERDUTY F250 350 EXCURSION 99-07

- Overdrive button not working on the ford superduty or excursion is usually a broken wire coming from the gear selector lever. If the wire grounds out you can also end up with a blown fuse which controls some gauges, some dash lights, the overdrive button, and the TPS so the truck will not respond to the accelerator pedal. This shows how to replace the transmission gear shifter and overdrive button.

Your video saved me at least $200 in shop diagnosis and repair. I was able to replace my stalk and wiring easily thanks to your step by step instructions. Thank you!
Bonus; I didn’t break the ears off my clip. That little tidbit of info was helpful. Kudos for showing that part and not editing it out.
Thanks!
Best video of this replacement on UA-cam! I've been having this trouble for about 2 years now. The first time it happened lost all power on my truck towing up a hill. Going to finally replace the lever now. Thank you for this video.
Thanks, these wires break a lot
Disconnect the battery first. Then there's no warning chime 👍
Nice job on the video!
I needed this.
Yooooo. Your video just saved me so much grief and wasted parts money with this clapped F350. I'm 99% sure my E350 had this problem too and I sold it thinking it was something serious. Fool me once, fool me twice! I just used some butt connectors and duct tape because I need my dump truck in the morning but this is probably fairly permanent lol. Now I dont need to spend the $400 minimum on a few yards of concrete to haul off by hiring a tandem. Saving me money hand over fist... at least $1000 and the day of work I wont miss messing around with a mechanic who may or may not solve it, plus the parts cannon they may come up with. You sir, are THE MAN! Beers on me! You're my new best buddy.
Thank you. My gauges started going crazy a few months ago and my shift lever has been loose for years. Two fixes in one shot. I'm heading to my local O'reillys to grab an in stock lever kit. 286,000 miles and still going strong.
Thanks for watching
Nice video,I wish everyone was direct and to the point like yours nice job!
I appreciate the video and it only took me 15 minutes after your instructions.
Finally I found the same ( F350 7.3 4x4 crew cab )set up I have. Thank you so much for this video. Greatly appreciated, now it is my turn to fix my truck. My truck the light comes on and I giggle the handle the the light goes off and on. But it does not activate the transmission into the lower gear. Been putting it off for a month, I need to take the panels off and see if I can repair the wires. Hopefully that is what it is. Doesn't look like it would take to long, going to go buy some heat shrink first to put over the wires after I do the repairs. Thanks again.
No problemit's pretty quick
Super common problem....why did I wait to fix! Thx 😎
Yeah pretty quick fix too
Thanks! I would never have figured out how to remove the ignition lock assembly.
No problem good luck
Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video. Very helpful.
Glad I could help
Thank you!
The pin holding the shift lever in place can be removed without removing that clip. Just pop it up from the bottom, and pull it out from the top.
Great video!!
Thanks, I think this is what's wrong with mine.
AWESOME VIDEO
Thanks
Great video that Clip was getting the best of ya.. lol
Great video ,I wonder if it the same for a chivy.
Not sure havent tried one
Would this cause the gauges to stop working
Thanks!
Tire tool on the clip might be smaller.
Thanks though
Could that broken wire cause your transmission to not shift into overdrive some times?
It can
If the wire is broken it defaults to overdrive on normally
My 2001 Excursion Limited V10's OD light flashes accompanied by what appears to vehicle shifting gears but then the OD goes off and everything is normal again for a bit, then it does it a few minutes later. Any suggestions? Thanks man, well done vid👍
You got it 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hmm. My button is replaced some other issue. Every search comes back to the button. But it's not
I have a 1999 f250, and at 64 yrs old I can say this is the most poorly designed truck I have ever owned
Well to each their own, I dont think they are that bad.
I just bought a used Ford focus and spilled soda on the gear shifter area and. The o/d light comes on sometimes the button does work when pressing it. Wonder if I need to replace it
If the OD button is on the shifter than yeah you probably got the switch wet.
The overdrive button hasn’t worked on my 2002 Ford f250 7.3 since I bought the truck over 6 years ago. I’m on my second transmission and it’s starting to have intermittent issues shifting with no consistency. I’ve been thinking is it possible for a truck to be stuck in overdrive with the button not working, and if so how would you know when it is in overdrive aside from the indicator light on the shifter handle?
I honestly think I have the same sort of issue?
If the over drive wires are disconnected will that affect the cluster gauges???
Not sure I think you'd need a way to calculate gears and see your RPM at certain speeds
My grandpa's trucks CEL was not on.
My overdrive wires shorted and didn't pop the fuse. Replaced the shifter handel with new like you did and still don't have response from gas pedal and gaguges are dead. Any thoughts?
No Idea but I dont think the overdrive button would cause a dead pedal and no gauges. sounds like something else
Replace the entire pedal assembly
I had do same on my f250 7.3 diesel
My wires are aren't cut or frayed. They look to be in perfect condition. My button still doesn't work. Idk maybe a faulty button I guess.
Can be a plug on the tranny or a broken wire elsewhere it's a drag to man I know people that pulled Trans and changed or rebuild and still had the problem not knowing that It was just a plug not connected.
Council shifter 2001 Ford overdrive will not stay in
What fuse is it ????
Varies by year check the manual
I'll be unhooking the alarm first because that noise ☠️
IKR
Should have unhooked the battery 🤔
So true my friend but my grandpas truck had very suspect clamps that were already near failure
