My Od light was flashing too. I serviced the rear diff and cleaned off the sensor. Still did it.
So I noticed that it would blow the fuse when I turned on the AC. I looked under the hood and the wires coming from the plug on the compressor were touching some metal. Then I noticed a burn mark on the metal, so I guess it was shorting out right there. Moved the wires, replaced the fuse without another 10amp and drove it all day with no problems. Everything works, abs light is off, ac works, all the symptoms.

The transmission shop told me I needed a vss. Installed and now have speedo needle bounce. I filed the plastic sensor so it would sit deeper and pick up gear oil as the rear end turned. The bounce is less but still there and I still can't use the cruise control. I have checked and cleaned every connection and still have issues. The trans shop said that my next step replacing the speedo in the dash
mx510- glad you found the problem.

VSS Problems
BigCab,
Did you find a solutions to your VSS problems you first posted about. I too am having along the same difficulties...
Rear end checks out, transmission checks out, replaced VSS at least 3 times in the last month, replaced pigtail for VSS.
Speedometer still jumping eratically, automatic trans shifting out of gear into neutral as you r driving. Anyone have a clue as to what to try next, I was told it maybe a instrument cluster or computer, but as of yesterday when I was at Ford, they are no longer making these parts...
