My light for overdrive quit working. Probably a bulb burned out. s it a bulb that they sell at most anywhere?

From what I remember from the dash assy I did have here it should be a standard 194 bulb. Just like the one that fits the marker lights.....

Thanks Count, just didn't want to tare into it and find that it wa a bulb that I had to get from Kawa.

standard easy to find bulb.

bob, before tearing into it ground the wire going to the OD switch to verify it is a blown bulb, it is lot of work to get to the bulb and i always check it before dash disassembly.

Funny thing, I had to go to the city and pick up ome parts this am and had plans of fiixig this when I got home. It was working today. For some reason though it doesn't seem very brite. Maybe a bad ground. I will check that Carl. Thanks.

One of the sticky blocks that I had holding up the wires that went to the lights on my front finder came unstuck and let the wires fall into the tire and blew the fuse to the front lights so that is what I had to work on when I got home. Got all the lights working except the fork lights. All the bulbs are bad. Auto Zone didn't have anythingh that would fit.

Carl, do you happen to know where the OD light is grounded or is the OD wire a ground?

If it has a single wire attached to it, the switch itself is grounded through the engine and provides the ground path for the bulb when the switch is closed.

Thanks Jeff.

Bob.. there are two wires to the OD light itself.. One is Orange/White and the other is Brown.. The brown is common to several lights including the horn and eventually ends via the plug behind the clocks, at the Fuse box for the Ignition 15A fuse.
The orange/white goes via another plug behind the clocks, down to a plug along with Black/yellow, Brown/Red, Blue/Red, and Light green. where it transverses to black and then to the OD switch. The other side of the OD switch is grounded.
I would suspect the plugs behind the clocks in all honesty.. I had the same problem with them when checking the Temp gauge.
Quick squirt of the WD40 and all was back top how it should be.

So in essence, the Orange/White is the ground.
