Hello,
My 1998 F-150 has a code stored that I don't understand or know how tp fix. What do I need to correct if I am getting a "P1780" Code.

Thanks.

Thanks,
I do have a switch in the column for OD on off but it is still functioning. Could it still be the problem component even if it is working when toggled?

I just relooked it up and found a long diagnostic chart that points to the od switch. Thats all I have seen go wrong so it would be a good place to start. It is possible it is something else but you have to play the odds on this one, I think and put in the switch.
