[Shotimes] O/D Light on ATX

[Rick Glass]

Same here, trust me.....shorted mine, no light at all on dash.....got it wet
multiple times, light on or off depending on it's mood, no control of O/D
feature with the button until it dried.

I suppose it could be either, but considering she just had it pressure
cleaned....I'm gonna bet it's just wet and if it' snot back to normal
already, it will be in a few more hours, the more the car is run, the faster
it dries out.
