I could use a little information regarding this problem as well. I have a 2001 F150. This morning on the way to work the truck bucked under acceleration, then the "Overdrive" light on the shift stem started flashing. I searched this site but was not able to find any information on the problem, other than it may have a blown fuse(?) No check engine light or codes.

I checked with my local Ford dealer this morning. Word is the flashing light could indicate a defective shifting module or sensor.
