1993 Dodge Colt
I am new to this group so be gentle with my first time posting on usenet.
My mother recently passed away and left me her car in her will.It is a 1993 Dodge Colt with the mitsubishi 1.8L engine, front wheel drive, auto transmission. She bought it new in 1993 and put about 30K miles on it. It turns out she has been driving for years with the overdrive switch in the off position. Overdrive appears not to work. I can drive the car through all ranges of the gears, but the minute I press the overdrive button to engage, it acts like I disconnected the transmission. I have electrically tested the switch and wiring harness and they test good from the switch to the plug that goes into the transmission. The switch activates or de-activates the overdrive lamp on the dash. I am a loss as what can cause the transmission to work with the overdrive switch off, but acts like the transmission is disconnected (like pushing in the clutch on a manual tranny) when the overdrive button is pushed. Any suggestions? Anybody else experience this problem before? Thanks Dennis |

Check the Fuses in the Fuse box - one may have blown...Also look at the
transmission on top and on the botton a wire that controls the overdrive may have come undone.... Thats a Good Car Keep it ... It gets great gas milage. Brian - Las Vegas , NV |
