I need to take time to say thank-you for having patience with a Norwegian who knows just enough about electricity to be dangerous. I wired up a switch just as you show in your video and it works great. I regret that I am so unobservent that I didn't notice until the third time viewing that you clearly show the back of the switch with the ground wire attached. Any agrivation I may have caused is entirely my fault. Thanks again.
@@GambisRestorationsthank-you for the answer. I'm still not understanding what the situation is at the switch. If orange is on one terminal and ground on the other it seems the would be a dead short so where does the ground wire get attached?
That wire doesn’t run back to the transmission. Your computer grounds the plug when it is time to shift into over drive. The only thing your overdrive button does is tell the computer it can do that function. There is not wired connection between the two.
@gambisrestoration. I did the overdive trick and worked for a year or so., it stopped working., i replaced the solenoid in transmission and nothing still the same., what else can i check ? Please help ., thanks man
Your steering seems to be as loose as mine. I replaced the steering box for 600$ . What a waste of money. Why didnt they put a u joint connection at the point where the steering column shaft connects with the steering box? JC witney makes one that would work. Nobody will weld it on for fear of liability.

whats the blue wire next to the orange wire coming out of the plug for ????
It is the ignition feed.
finally a hero also what year truck
1992!
So do you still leave your tps sensor hooked up or just unhook it
Just leave it alone.
The switch I have has a accessories and a power to connect the wires which one do I connect the green and orange wire to
I have no idea.
Is there any reason i cant just snip the orange wire at the overdrive button end? Nobody answers questions on these videos.
It won’t work that way. I believe that wire runs back to the pcm wiring harness.
