Breda,
Not normal. It sounds like either the switch is shorted internally, or your OD
relay may be shorted closed. --You're going to have to get out your meter,
and measure across the switch, and the leads on the relay on the firewall.
There is a good procedure for checking the electronic components here:

Subject: overdrive solenoid
Ok guys,
I just had an interesting few hours in my garage trying to trace the
problem
with my overdrive,
Checking the electrics etc
Here is the scenario following my investigations,
The Solenoid is engaging in 3rd and 4th gear regardless of the position on
the dash switch(overdrive or normal)
Is this correct or an indicator the switch is US? Surely it should not be
engaging when the switch is in the normal position?
Would appreciate feed back.
Thanks.
