Flashing overdrive light, or one that goes out and won't come back on means you need to have your transmission checked. I believe in a 99 they have a computer hook up they can use to see if they can figure out what is wrong with the transmission.

The 1995 and newer Crown Vics don't have normal flashers, they have a Lighting Control Module (LCM) that contains relays which control the flashing.
In a Crown Victoria, "overdrive off" refers to the disengagement of the overdrive gear in the vehicle's automatic transmission. When overdrive is off, the transmission operates in lower gears, which can provide more power and control for tasks such as towing or driving on steep inclines. This setting can also help improve engine performance and responsiveness at lower speeds. Drivers typically engage overdrive for fuel efficiency during normal highway driving conditions.
Hit the button on the end of shift lever, which takes it out of overdrive.
