That happen to me when I had a transmission problem on my 2002. You need to goto the dealer. Are you having problems with hard shifting? email me offline tpscott@optonline.net
On a 2002 Ford Explorer : If you have switched the overdrive off using the switch on the end of your gear selector lever ( P R N etcetera ) then the ( O/D OFF light ) will light up in the upper right area of your gauge cluster It will not shift into overdrive ( which is the " top gear " on your transmission ) until the speed is higher anyway ( such as on the highway / freeway ) and in that case you will see a decrease in the engine RPM on your tachometer My Ford explorer does not shift into overdrive until I'm going around 50 MPH / 80 KPH
Usually an airbag light blinks to signal a problem. The number of blinks tells the driver the code number, which informs the driver of the problem.
that 4wd is engaged and working if it blinks there is a problem with the 4wd
It's time to change the oil.
A 2002 Ford Explorer ( 4 door ) takes bulb # 9145 in the fog light according to the owners manual
Push the button on the end of the gearshift lever ( P R N etc. ) if you want to turn off the overdrive feature ( O/D OFF will light in the gauge cluster )
That means it time for a new blinker light it is burned out.
