I have a 1995 2.2L 4-cyl Camry Wagon, auto trans. with 257,500 miles. It runs like new, original engine & tranny. Without fanfare or noise the "overdrive off" quit working. The book says this can be a "circuit problem". All the connections seem to be in place, though. The transaxle shifts great, and I can drive the car this way, but in snow or ice or going down a steep hill it would be nice to take it out of overdrive to have better control or so the engine can slow the descent. The dealership mechanics replaced a "transmission switch" which did nothing except make them some money. It's exactly the same as when I took it in for repair. (They probably laid off or retired the mechanic that could fix it.) What might cause the overdrive off to stop working? What faulty part or connection should I look for to fix this? Thanks for any ideas that come this way.
