OD off light flashing
I have a 99 F250 4wd powerstroke automatic no mods that I bought about 2 months ago.Lately and it seems to be worse in cold weather the OD off light flashes.The trans was replaced in july 06 (before I owned the truck)with a ford 3yr/36000 replacement trans.The trans seems to work and shift fine and the OD switch turns the OD on and off but I know the flshing means there is a malfunction.Just wondered if there was anything to check before I take it to the shop?

When mine was flashing, my odometer also was acting up.. Replace the VSS on top of the rear-end with a Napa P/N 530780, (they called it a ABS sensor), $10.47 and it fixed it. Been a year now, no problems..

I don't know if I have and ABS issue, or shorts on the dash wiring, etc because my radio will go on and off at the same time ( I just leave it on) until the thing works it out....
