Hello all. After some reading about this issue, it seems the solution could be just about anything. There appear to be folks with similar problems as mine, but not quite exactly. Here is my particular issue:
2003 Explorer, 4.0, auto trans, @ 124,000 miles, daily driver.
My truck has a flashing OD Off light and it shifts hard from 3-D. The light comes on 5-10 seconds after starting the truck, even if its never taken out of Park. If I try to manually turn on/off the O/D on the shift lever while driving, there is no change in rpm. There is no CEL. I took it to Advance Auto to have the codes pulled, they said since no CEL, that there would be no codes. From my reading here, the flashing od light will generate a code of some sort.
It looks like I will have to take it to the dealer... man, I hate the thought of that.
Any thoughts what I need to do? Thanks in advance.
