OD OFF light will flash if computer has set transmission OBD2 codes
The OD off button on the shifter is not an on/off button, its a momentary contact switch
When pressed it sends 12volts to the computer and computer "toggles" the OD status, i.e. if OD was on then its turns OD off, if OD was off it turns OD on, so each time the button is pressed the status of OD is switched on or off
When computer is restarted, key off and then on again, OD is set as ON so OD OFF light will be off on startup every time
There are 2 wires inside the metal shifter arm for the button, they exit the arm under the Clam shell cover on steering column and plug into a connector
The 2 wires can chaff where they exit the metal arm, if the 2 wires short momentarily its the same as pressing the button, so OD OFF light comes on, and then can go off all on its own if they sort again
With key on all the dash bulbs should light up, this is a BULB TEST to tell you if any bulbs are burned out, so OD OFF light should come on with the test but then go off a stay off unless you press the button

You can get new shifter arm with boot like this: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/k4IAA...q3/s-l1200.jpg
About $70
But you should also test current wire first to see if it has a short
After clam shell is off start the truck, then watch the OD OFF light while you move that wire around, pull on it and twist it to see if light comes on
And push the button a few times to make sure light is working like it should
