∙ 2008-10-21 02:26:14The OD light on dash stands for Overdrive. There is a button (usually) on the end of the turn signal lever. Some cars the button or switch is on the dash. If you push the button/switch the light will change to OD or OD on (may even go out) then you will be in overdrive. Being in overdrive is good except for steep hills or pulling a heavy load.
On a Mazda tribute, the car with a key light indicator means that the engine is started.
There are many possible meanings to the word overdrive. Many people use the word overdrive to mean going beyond normal. As far as automotive terms go, overdrive simply means that the transmission output shaft spins at a faster rate than the input shaft. So, for example, if a transmission had a .70 overdrive ratio, then the transmission output would spin one full turn for every .70 turns of the input shaft.
It means that the overdrive is turned off. most likely someone hit the overdrive button by mistake or pushed the button while using the vehicle to tow and never pushed the button again to turn overdrive back on. On most cars the button is at the end of the shift handle.

OD means Overdrive. The light is on because you have disengaged the Overdrive. The button is on the shift lever on the side. Push that button to engage the overdrive.

That means you are either in overdrive or you have a defect in the dash lights that is turning on your overdrive light. Wiki can explain what overdrive is better than I can, but it's not a bad thing. You should probably just leave your vehicle in overdrive for better fuel economy.
Surely you know what some of the lights mean. Be more specific.
That is just a mark left by the manufacturing of the dash panel. It is not an indicator of anything on the Jeep.
It is the powertrain/4x4/AWD malfunction indicator. It is the second indicator light covered in your owners manual if you have one.
overdrive is turned off. This is usually controlled by a button on the shifter knob. Press it to turn of the overdrive, push it again to turn it back on.
