Reasons: Cheap Belt Too tight
if overdrive light is flashing , take your vehicle to a transmission shop that light indicates a problem in the transmission do not ignore it to long or you will be calling a wreckr to come tow your vehicle as the transmission will quit i been there lol
A flashing OD light means there is a problem with your transmission. Your truck should continue to operate, but without overdrive capability, have it checked out at a shop. Your Mazda Pickup is almost identical to the Ford Ranger and thus should have a Ford transmission, when there is a problem with the transmission the OD light with either come on or Flash and sometimes the Check Engine light with come on too depending on what is wrong with the tranny.

More than likely incorrectly aligned or buckled pulley or overtightened or seized pully
Discovered that one of the wires on my switch became unsoldered and was "bouncing" off the other wire, therefore turning my overdrive on and off. Also found out a tight grasp and a tug will pop the overdrive switch out of the shift column.
Trouble code P0401 means:Exhaust gas recirculation-insufficient flow detected
overdrive light blinks when there is a problem in the transmission. take it to a good transmission repairer, as soon as you can to be fixed, or it will leave you broke down on the road somewhere
The hold light can be used to keep the car in either 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear. Not really needed, just drive in sport mode DS/D3 to hold the gears longer. overdrive off/on
The Pulley is slipping forward during pump engagement and tightening the belt to breaking point. Tighten or replace bolts holding power steering pump to the bracket. I have been hearing a pulley that sounded loose or like it was gonna fail and have been waiting on the serpentine belt to break on 1996 Mazda protege. Will I feel that the pulley is slipping?
Its a old button for a certain gear. Say you are in overdrive but going up a hill and you need to down shift, hit that button and the car will automatically downshift until you release that button. The same thing applys as when going down a hill, you will want to keep the car at a lower gear so not as to use the brakes as much. It will slow you down automatically.
Which Indicator?
