there are three wires coming out of the harness on the trans that control the OD and lockup. the orange wire is the OD you can wire it to a switch that controlled by ground and run it that way.

then its the other color wire not the thick blue one in the middle. But you can just wire it to a switch that is controlled by ground.

Nope, thats normal when you wire the overdrive to a switch. Because you then bypass the computer, which unlocks the convertor before shifting outa overdrive.
