The OD light flashing is an indicator of an electrical failure in the transmission. Get it fixed now or replace the tranny later.

Why does 2004 Explorer Overdrive off light blink?

Get it checked out. You have an electrical problem. Most likely a short. Overdrive is basically a "Higher Gear" allowing the wheels to spin faster than the engine, which increases fuel effeciency. If this is out, you will only get to use the next lowest gear. I have a 6 speed automatic. Which means, I could only use up to fifth. If yours is a 5 speed auto, then you can only use up to fourth gear.

On your harmon pellet stove the status light blinks three times what does that mean?

Faulty or dirty ESP is most likely cause of the 3-blink code. Cleaning the probe first may correct the problem, from there it's probably the probe itself.


How do i find out what the check engine light is on for on a BMW?

first you nee to check and see if your car is referred to as OBDI or OBDII if its ODBI then you start with the car off.. turn the key to run but do not start the engine.. at this point you have less that 5 seconds to push the gas pedall all the way to the floor and press the overdrive button five times... then the check engine light will stay on.. and then blink... next its going to blink out the code for you for ex. blink-pause-blink blink-pause blink blink blink-pause blink n that would mean the problem code is 1231 just Google BMW problem codes and use that dcode to find out what the issue is..

Why do explorer headlights blink on and off after 10 minutes of driving?

If a Ford Explorer headlights blink on and off after 10 minutes of driving, it is highly probable that there is a short bad overdrive pump. Rest the car and clean the grounds. Also check for loose or broken wires.
