If your traction control light is constantly flashing and you are NOT drawing an OBD fault code, then the system may need to be calibrated. Ford can do this for $92. A system needs to be calibrated when a component of the traction control is replaced or disconnected and reconnected. If, however, the light returns, the problem is likely the clock spring in the steering column, also known as a "sliding contact." Ford/Lincoln is famous for these things not lasting long. It is the component that brings power to everything you need in the steering wheel (horn, cruise, air bag, radio volume, etc.). When this goes bad, it is tantamount to disconnecting/reconnecting the steering wheel position sensor (a component of the traction control). Typically, you will have other issues, such as a "high resistence" code from the air bag, or the horn or cruise will not work, etc.
