I am a former DSM guy just switched to Hyundai. Got a automatic 2000 Tiburon, just bought it and the OD switch does not function at all. I need some help. Is this controlled by a fuse? or could I have purchased a lemon with a bad trans? I have checked the Hyundai online manuals and did not see anything. The rest of the gears work fine. I just cant cruise at 4500 rpm down the highway all the time.

The OD switch just turns on or off the overdrive gear. I'm assuming your Tib has the 4-speed automatch. In that trans, 4th gear is overdriven. If OD is ON the the trans will use all 4 gears. If OD is OFF then the trans will only use the first 3 gears and will not shift into 4th gear. Are you getting 4 gears with OD ON? Does the trans shift 3 times or only 2?

The OD switch doesn't appear to do anything, no light on the dash either. I only get 3 gears. Can this be caused by a fuse, or bad switch, or something deeper?
