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.
my check engine light stays on and the o/d light blinks....what could this mean?
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
That is indicating that there is a problem with your air bag - take it to a professional
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
I've heard that it blinks when coolant is low and stays on when coolant is too hot.
Just spray some wd40 in all the latches. The sensors are in those latches. I had the same problem and it solved it for me
Numerous things could cause this problem. Most of them are nothing to worry about. As long as you are talking about the AMBER "check engine light"... Since it blinks, I would check with a Dealer first. The blinking indicates a possible future problem. Once it is steady, the car has identified a problem. One thing to check... Make sure the gas cap is tight!!! No idea how the car runs or idles, so difficult to figure...bring it in.
get a haynes manual at a library

Close it hard
When the cold light comes on it is because the Coolant/Antifreeze is still cold, and that you should drive moderately until the engine reaches normal operating temperatures. When it blinks blue it usually means that there is an electrical malfunction with the cooling system somewhere. (usually the coolant sensor goes bad) If the light blinks red then the car is overheating.
On your 2003 Mercury Mountaineer : A problem has been detected with the Anti-lock Brake System It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem As long as the red " BRAKE " light is not on in your dash , you still have " normal " brakes * my ABS light suddenly came on and the first ABS fuse I checked was not installed all the way (I don't know how that could have happened ! ) I touched the fuse with my finger , heard a " click " and the ABS light went out ( just lucky I guess , but suspicious )
