O/D light blinking ??
Question:
The "OD off" light is reacting to you pushing the OD button at the end of the shift lever. The default is "OD on" (no light), so when you turn ignition off and on the light goes away. MW
That is what I want to know. Yesterday, my ‘98 Explorer Sport (which I have only had for a month and a half) had a warning that said "o/d off". It stayed on until I turned off the engine and restarted it. I had never seen the warning before and after I restarted it, haven’t seen it since. Any input, anyone?
Response:
The O/D is an automatic function of being ON when you start the vehicle. When you touch the button (usually in the tip of the shift lever) the O/D is turned off and the light will light on the dash panel and remain on until you either touch the button once again to turn O/D back on or when you shut the engine off and restart it again. That is what I want to know. Yesterday, my ‘98 Explorer Sport (which I have only had for a month and a half) had a warning that said "o/d off". It stayed on until I turned off the engine and restarted it. I had never seen the warning before and after I restarted it, haven’t seen it since. Any input, anyone?

My O/D light was blinking, 1995 Expl with 90,000 miles. It cost $3500 to replace the trans (and that was a remanufactured trans) They claim the third gear was slipping and the whole unit needed replacing. I’m looking for others who have had trans problems so early in the life of their explorer.

I just had mine start blinking on my 96 EB with 120k. Took it to a local tranny shop, and they had to replace a couple bands and servos, the solenoid pack and the torque convertor.. Ford said that I got a ‘great amount’ of life out of this tranny.. Wonder how long they’re rated for. Hrmm.. > My O/D light was blinking, 1995 Expl with 90,000 miles.

I’d seen various posts in the past regarding the O/D light blinking and backing out of my driveway the light starting blinking. It turns out my shifter wasn’t 100% in reverse – sort of in between reverse and neutral. I stopped, put the shifter completely in "R" but the light kept blinking. I put in Park, turned off and restarted engine – the light disappeared and hasn’t reappeared since.

Hi, I have ‘00 EB Explorer (only 1100 miles !!) and today while coming to work, the O/D (overdrive) light starting blinking without any warning of any sort. I tried using the overdrive on/off button and that seems to be working fine. Anybody experienced this before ?? I am taking my vehicle to the Dealer later today but I was wondering if any of guys had seen this problem and let me know how serious this could be ?? Since this is a new vehicle with only 1100 miles (no off road miles), I am surprised to see problems occuring so soooon !! TIA — Regards, Harpreet Gill Phone: 408-774-8034 Fax : 408-616-5523
