Overdrive light flickers and occasionally stays on

2005 Ford Escape

I rebuilt transmission on my 2005 Ford Escape 4 cyl, 4WD. I replaced all clutches , steels, all seals and pistons. Then I replaced the solenoid pack, and torque converter. I also replaced the coast band, and did the shift kit upgrade to resole a high pressure problem.

The problem is that it shifts great into every gear but the overdrive light flickers and occasionally stays on. No shutters, no slips or hard shifts. It had a converter lockup code at first but that went away. Where should I look from here? I have been checking wires especially grounds the last couple days.


You might want to operate the overdrive button a few times to see if the contacts are sticking maybe. The button on the floor shifter.
