Can I connect the two wires togeather on my 1995 Tercel shifter overdrive switch and leave the overdrive always on. Will this create any future problems?

I was trying to replace the shifter indicator cover on the center console and removed the overdrive switch from the handle. I had to take apart the switch which had two springs. I don't think the tiny spring went back in properly because when I press the button the over drive engages but the switch does not keep it engaged. I was thinking about just bypassing the switch and leaving it active all the time. Will this cause any future problems?

your transfer case is not working properly, try this trick, shift into 4wd and gently back up the car and go forward and back up again wait for the indicator light to come back again, goodluck, otherwise you need to have those transfer case checked and maintained, have those front hubs checked and maintained too. Its would be better to use your 4WD more often. Try this trick not on a paved road pls.

SOURCE: Transmission won't engage in Toyota Tercel

pop off the cap on your clutch reservoir, if it's empty fill it up, leave the cap off, and then pump the clutch 20 times to try to get air out, that should work.

As I understand it, since it only works on "hi" you need a blower motor resistor. It is under the glove compartment and it is removed with 2 screws. It will be about $30.00 at the dealership. I don't know about the shifter.

Hello, and welcome to FixYa. Let us try to help.

Yes, you read correctly; if the refrigerant charge is low,or the refrigerant has leaked out, the AC compressor will not activate. Pressure switches built into the system inturupt the power to the AC clutch if there is insufficient system pressure.

I would suggest taking the vehicle to a qualified garage, and have the service tech there hook his set of 'AC Gauges" to the car. After he does that, he can tell you if you need a partial charge, of if you system is empty. I would def recommend the car be checked with the AC gauges; as adding refrigerant to the system without knowing how much is currently in it can damage the compressor.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for advice!

Is there a way to permanently disable the overdrive on my 1994 Ford f150

You should have an overdrive off button at the end of your gear shift lever. just switch it off and tape over the button. Or the wires from the button connect at the bottom of the shifter. The button is on or off, figure out which disengages the overdrive and either leave the circuit open or closed.

My O/D lights is on and didnt go off with switch

Year? Make? Model?

I'd guess the switch is bad.
Get a two prong, open/close ( on/off ) switch at autozone. (5 bucks)There will be two wires running to the switch, cut them. When they are connected together the overdrive light should turn off. When not connected the light will turn on

Crimp one female connector to each wire. Slide one female connector on each prong of the new switch. Mount switch. Presto.

Now, if you do go this route, and you cut your wires, if the light stays on regardless if they are connected or not, there may be a broken or squeezed od wire somewhere. If you have floor shifter the overdrive wires are usually fed through the shift linkage witch could rub the wires overtime and break the connection. That's where I'd e looking and inspecting wires if I were you.

Goodluck

My overdrive switch on the shifter is not doing anything when engaged or disingaged and the car is staying in one gear

take the plug out its socket and ssee if the wires are connected properly and the fuse is intact for the overdrive system

also i wrote the bottom paragraph without reading the question properly but it might be usefull

(the overdrive button keeps the car in one gear as long as possible it runs into the red of the rev counter
it will only change when you keep it in the red zone for a long time to stop damage to engine)

Overdrive is always on

The prob is a fragile wiring harness at the base of your shifter handle, the wirings easily break from movement when shifting from park to drive. The wires can be respliced or the handle can be replaced

What are these buttons for? e t c drive & side of shifter

The ETC switch is a transmission control device. When it is not active, the transmissions shifts normally. When the ETC is engaged, it alters the shift points.
Example: the 1-2 upshift occurs normally between 18-20 mph. Now, say you are towing something, or are carrying a heavy load...engage the ETC, and the trans computer will "hold" the 1-2 upshift until 22-24 mph. It is just for that, prolonging the shift points, due to load.

The switch on the side of the shifter is for the Overdrive. Engaged (the OD light is off) the transmission shifts into overdrive. This saves you gas. When the button is dis-engaged (the OD OFF light is on) , the transmission does NOT shift into overdrive. It is best to leave the overdrive ON, and the ECT OFF to obtain maximum fuel mileage. I hope this has answered your question. Please feel free to comment back if you have any other questions. Thanks for chosing FixYa for assistance.
