having a flashing OD lite is limp mode i believe.
i don't think the torque converter will lock like this.
start with the basics.
fuses.
relays (they are in that under hood fuse panel-im drawing a blank at what that's called right now.)
corroded wires/dirty connectors(around any sensors/clips.)
brake lites.

Hello Gentlemen. I am relatively new to Ford trucks and the forums but I am also having this blinking OD light issue on my 97 7.3 PSD. It started out of nowhere back in the cold wet weather.
I plan on pulling codes and checking fuses but I saw someone in this thread refer to checking the FIPL or FPIL under the hood? Can someone help me out as to what this is?
Any other things I should be looking for?
Thanks

I think yours is OBDII that means more or different error codes and your engine is computer controlled so you will get codes from that to. most if not all the transmission stuff will probably be the same (same transmission but a different computer controlling it) You will probably find more relevant Info for your truck in this forum:
1994.5 - 1997 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel
On the FIPL I don't think your truck has one it uses a totaly different arrangement someone will pop up and correct me if I am wrong about that.

Thanks for the responses and for the forwarding of the E4OD PDF files. Much obliged.
I have gotten great advice off the boards here and elsewhere and want to say a general THANK YOU to everyone out there. God Bless you all.
I have used my AE Scantool (yeah I sprang for it) and it looks like I am having an issue with my Transmission Range Sensor so I am looking into that now.

For what its worth, I am no expert, but I can tell you my truck is currently in what I think is limp mode until I get Tranny Range sensor fixed.
The symptoms I have are sharp, abrupt shifting from 1 to 2 and a general feeling of lack of power on acceleration. To be fair, since I noticed the OD light I have babied the truck and not had it on the road, only did some test drives around the parking lot but most posts I have read regarding limp mode seem to talk about hard shifting and sometimes lack of power.
