Could be, in order of likelihood:

-fuse 11 (which you've checked, but have you rotated it in its contacts?)
-gear knob sw wire(s) have come loose at sw. terminals under the knob cap.
-gear knob wire(s) have parted below the rubber shifter boot
-wire has come off either Hot or Ground at the solenoid
-relay has gone south (resolder fix is relatively easy and is free)
-4th gear switch is out of adjustment or bad
-bad solenoid

If the dash "OD" light goes on, your problem is likely #4 or #7, as the light won't work if any of the other things are bad.
