I had this problem 2 weeks ago It was one of the big maxi fuses under the hood. It controlled the speed o the odometer the automatic trans shifting and the ABS light was on. I can pop my hood & tell you the # in a bit.

The speed sensor can cause the flashing OD light. Does it shift funny? Pull the sensor out of the top of the rear end and check it out. May need to be cleaned up and put back or replaced all together.

You should check what code has been stored in memory. Otherwise you're going to waste a lot of time and money.

I don't mean to keep on this fuse thing but mine tested good installed with a meter. You need to pull every one and viaually check they could be hanging on by a thread & reading continuity.
