Over Drive light flashes all day WTF

Super_Swamper_98 · 10-09-2008, 09:37 PM

My problem is my over drive light flashes and it wont turn off OD still works it just flashes. I hooked my dads Modis scanner to the truck I forgot the code but it said tourqe converter stuck. So we pulled the valve body and replaced a coupe of solenoids it still did nothing. Someone said we could have drilled the wrong holes for the shift kit but who knows can anyone help Thanks.

Check the electrical connections.

thanks they were all snug no cuts in the wires?

Check the solenoids through the internal wiring harness of the transmission. The harness might have an internal electrical fault.

Well my O/D light started to flash one day and about 4 days later and $2100.00 later I had a rebuilt tranny

Tranny shop said if O/D light starts to flash PARK IT and tow it into a tranny shop ASAP!!! Once light flashes tranny goes into limp mode due to a internal problem and will fail if not serviced ASAP!!!
