O/D OFF light

I have a 2000 Contour, 4 cyl. The O/D OFF light came on and stayed on until I shut the car off. When restarted I haven't seen it since. There's no over drive switch. Could they have used this instrument panel for cars that did have an O/D switch and this light means nothing to me? Just an O/D OFF light gone wild?

You likely have a AOD-E tranny in your contour (i didnt look it up but im pretty sure thats what ford was using for their auto trannys)   and to my experience there has always been a button on the passenger side of the shifter that turned the OD off...  i would not think that the light has 'gone wild' because usually it takes its top off for that haha  just joking    but seriously   its more likely that it was shut off by pushing a button somewhere...  fortunately if it happens again just pull over and restart the car...   it will default mode to the OD on
