98 Exp Blinking Overdrive Light
I have a 98 Exp 4wd XLT, the overdrive light on the column started to blink. As its blinking the transmittion is either slipping or snatches from gear to gear. If I shut the truck off and restart it, the light will go off and the vehicle runs like it should. Then 10 min later the problem will return. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
p.s. I just crossed over 140,000 miles....

This happenned to my '99 Expy. I was told by others on this thread that this is a "check engine" light for the transmission. When the light blinks, the transmission goes into "safe" mode where the shifting is "jerky". Your best hope is to bring to a good transmission service place before more damage is done. In my case it was some sort of shift valve that cost about $300 to fix (ford dealer). No problems since.
