Description of the problem	Column shifter overdrive on/off switch wire leads in 2004 toyota tundra fails or shorts out causing loss of control of overdrive setting on automatic transmission. This can cause downshifting at highway speed or your vehicle to not shift into overdrive causing poor fuel economy problem occurs after so many shift cycles of the column shifter from park to drive cause the wire leads to break from metal fatigue causing the failure or short in the switch my truck started this with about 123,000 miles on it. I found numerous posts on the web detailing the fix on this problem. Upon investigation i found the routing of the wires is causing the issue and you can see where toyota has tried to tape the wires to give extra protection in a poor routing of the switch wires.
