Take it to a trusted transmission expert ASAP. You have a serious transmission problem. Continuing to drive the car may do irreparable damage.
The overdrive light blinks when the computer senses a transmission problem. (IE. Torque Converter failure) The reason it feels like it downshifts is due to the computer putting the transmission into a fail-safe mode to reduce further transmission damage.
The transmission has set a code and you need to get it checked.

The transmission may be damaged. My wife and I had an Explorer and it did the exact same thing, and shortly after the transmission went out. Have it checked out at a reputable shop or dealer.
When the overdrive light blinks that means a malfunction has been detected - get it checked out
The reason your OD lite blinks and stays on means that your transmission control module has detected a problem such as a possible slipping clutch during a shift point you will need to have the vehicle scanned for codes and further repair

Answero/d light blinks when there is a problem in your transmission. take it to a good transmission mechanicIf your car does not have 2nd gear and the O/D light comes on with in the first couple of minutes of driving, the band for 2nd/OverDrive is broken and needs to be replaced, I have heard that if it is just the O/D light flashing that a separate transmission cooler will fix it.
If your 1997 Mercury Tracer has a battery light that blinks on and off while the car is running, it most likely means that the battery is not charging. This could be an issue with your alternator.
There is a problem with the SRS. Take it to a professional for repair. Working on the SRS is not a DIY job. Serious injury can occur when dealing with this system.
