Overdrive off light flashing

I have a 1997 F150, 4.6l with 70k 4x4. Recently had problem with electric while driving home from work. 4 wheel drive light flashing, heater fan motor turning on and off and numerous relays firing under the dash, after checking all grounds my brother in law and I found corosion in fuse box under the dash. We tore it apart,cleaned and dried it and put it back together. After all this it worked better but air bag light stays on and overdrive off light flashes on and off. It doesn't actually try to shift and if I shut the truck off and restart the light is off like normal then it starts flashing as I drive. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate them.
Thanks

The computer for the trans has stored a code, thats usually why your OFF is flashing, need to pull the code. Hope this helps you.

Hi db64 and welcome to FTE.
This is true, plus you may have to have the proper scanner to reset the ABS light, it probably has a power loss code.
