I have a '97 Maxima that won't go into overdrive. Pushing the button on
the shifter only turns the OD light on and off. Even at 60 it's still in
3rd. No flashing OD light and no ODBII codes set. It also shifts early
and hard when it makes the 1-2 shift. Anyone seen this before?

I had a similar fault with my 95 many years ago.

It was fixed by the replacement of a $10.00 high power resistor and $20.00
Labour.

Not exactly the same but when I press my OD button nothing happens. If I
hold back pressure on it the OD light comes on and it shifts out of OD.
Not sure what is causing that but I guess there is some switch out of
adjustment.
