When the O/D OFF light flashes , that means the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction - get it checked out
Im not exactly sure how much they cost but i do have one that i took out of my 02 sport trac that works perfect if you are interested in buying it? can contact me at kyle_mooker@hotmail.com
because it doesnt like you guys
it is in the manual says when this happens it is 02 sensor and if it is flashing you have a miss in your engine which can cause damage.
In a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac : In the Power Distribution Box ( which is " live " ) located in the engine compartment , on the drivers side of the engine compartment ( mini fuse # 29 is a 15 amp fuse for the fog lights )

Your low on oil or Oil is covering the sensor on the tank.
I doubt that running out of gas will my the low trac light come on. I own an 02 Cavalier, and the trac light has to do with the amount of traction you have on any given surface. If you know a mechanic I would have them check it out.
Does it look like this? http://ionceknewagirl.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/29_angler_fish.jpg if so then its an angler fish.
There is an 02 sensor ahead of the catalytic converter and one downstream of it.

I suggest change your alternator, it sounds like its not putting out very much power so when you turn on any electrical you maxing out your weak alternator.
I'm 95% certain that it will. I have had three different Explorers (all 3rd generation: 02 - 05) and the stereos have been interchangable. To be 100% sure, call your local Ford dealership and ask for the parts department. They should be able to give you the right answer.
