2000 Ranger OD Lockout switch

Have my first problem (24k mi) since buying this vehicle new. Discovered the OD lockout system, (switch on the end of gear selector rod ) was not operating. Rarely use this feature, but it is nice for engine braking in the mountains, or towing.

Mechanic of mine said the fuse was out and replaced it, system was working when it left his shop. He opined this may be a bigger problem than the fuse, if it happens again. It did, a couple of days later.

Called the mechanic, and he said the problem could be a short in the gear selector rod switch itself, or worse, within the transmission. This is a 4L V6 XLT with 4WD Auto. Anyone else run into this problem.
