There will not be one fuse for just that light. So unless other lights don't work, it's not a fuse. I'm assuming it's the light that goes on when you hit the switch on the shifter to kick the O/D off? Does the O/D actually go off even without the light? I'd go with light bulb then look at switch.

I didn't realize my 98 Camry 4cyl has O/D. So when I started the car after work I noticed that the "O/D Off" light was on. It wasn't on before. Since it wasn't on before, I'm assuming I may have switched it off sometime today. But I don't remember do so. Not to mention that I have no idea where the O/D switch is on my car. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

If I didn't hit the switch, what could be the reason why it is now off?

Thanks

Sweet. Thanks for the tip. The whole time I've had my car, I never noticed that switch.
