If you find a blown fuse and it keeps blowing, here is an area that you might consider to look at. My OD off light was on all the time, the return wire from the light was grounding out where the lever bolted to the column. As I said my light was on all the time but the OD worked fine. Perhaps the live wire to the light is blowing your fuse.

I replaced shifter, since overdrive light was not turning on at all.
now light turns on when button is pressed, but it doesn’t stay on......any idea, why light is staying on?
thanks!
