My 1998 explorer 5.0 did the same thing, i noticed the light flashing, then noticed that it hadnt shifted into overdrive. so i pressed the overdrive button *located on the end of shifter* it then shifted into overdrive and the light shut off. This happens easily, the button is very sensitive, the slightest touch even from shifting from Park to Drive can activate it. The button is for towing or hauling so you will substain torque and speed. hope this helps, write back if you still need help.
By having the problem repaired. Take it to a professional, as you have a transmission problem.
In most cases drive with overdrive especially if maintaining over 45 mph. Take out of overdrive if on slippery pavement
No. You should not drive in overdrive all the time.
On a 1999 Ford Expedition : Overdrive is the normally allowed position It won't shift into overdrive ( the 4th " gear " of the transmission ) until the speed is higher anyway ( such as on a highway / freeway ) If you are towing something / or driving in hilly country and the transmission is shifting back and forth between overdrive and drive , then you want to shut off the overdrive on the transmission using the switch on the end of the gear selector lever . ( the word OFF will light up near the end of the gear selector lever )

If you don't want the automatic transmission to shift into overdrive, press the button on the end of the gear selector lever. An indicator light will come on in the bottom right corner of your guage cluster displaying O/D OFF
Starting in 2002 the Ford Explorer 4 door does not have an automatic transmission dipstick
