My o/d stopped working. I replaced a blown 5am fuse that among other things controls the o/d control switch. The o/d still does not work. I checked the fuse again, it is OK. 4.2 EFI V-6 with Electronic 4-SPD O/D. Any suggestions.

A common malfunction is just the wire in the shift lever. Through continued back & forth movement over time, the wires break internaly. The switch at the tip of shift lever is another possibility before thinking of internal transmission solenoids.
