over drive.

riddlee josh · July 28th, 2008, 01:45 PM

ight yesterday i was bored and looked at some auto shift knobs. as i was looking at them i got to wondering how the knob actually works. so i went out and took mine off. as i was taking mine off i accidentally ripped the wires on the o/d button off. so today i took it all apart again to fix it. i spliced the wires and put them back into the o/d button and now when i hit the button it won't go out of overdrive. im very frustrated and really want to know why. im hoping u guys can help.

you probly just wired it back wrong

riddlee josh · July 28th, 2008, 01:53 PM

nope i've switched the wires thinking i had them wrong and i still have a prob.

and i also tried just taking the wires and touching them and that should make it disengage and engage o/d and even touching the wires together won't work.

what could i be missing?

something in the handle isn't disengaging? like i'm thinking when you press the button its not breaking the circuit. anyways maybe go through a manual it might give you a better idea. my idea is just a guess.

possibly a fuse blow when you broke the switch and most likely crossed the wires? just a guess
