What does it mean when the over drive light is flashing on and off? I start the truck up then start driving for about 5-10 mins once the truck warms up the light flashes. Also it seems like it gets stuck in a certain gear. Any help? Thanks

 

it likely means that your transmission is about to be a paperweight. don't drive it. take it in to get the code pulled. NOW.

It should be around 2k dollars for a new auto (if that is what you have).

O/D light flash is basically saying "your tranny is slipping, stop driving me and bring me in "

 

Not necessarily.

The flashing O/D light is to the transmission as a Check Engine Light is to the engine. There is a trouble code stored in the PCM for a transmission related fault.

It could be something minor or it could be big trouble. Get the code pulled right away to find out. You may have to go to a Ford dealer because not all code readers can access transmission codes.

 

Shoot ok. Will it hurt to drive there for now?

 

The tranny fluid looks good and is were it is supposed to be. Yes it does slip.

 

If it slips, I wouldn't drive it. If you have AAA get it towed...

 

It doesn't slip. It graps. It is that it gets stuck in a gear. It feels like 1 or 2 then it is fine.

 

I don't understand?

It does or doesn't slip, b/c you said it slipped before...now your saying it doesn't.

It gets stuck in a gear? How so?

Thats typical of a transmission with a problem, just take it in...

 

The O/D light flashes. I goes into gear,it just seems like it sticks in a certain gear.

 

From experience. Don't drive it, have it towed, get it to a shop ASAP. Tell them to try a "high power lube flush" first, then try other alternatives...

 

I will thanks for all the help. Hope it will get fixed under warrenty.
