I had the same problem with my 1995 explorer xls. And everyone told me I needed a new transmission. I got on the internet and found a solution.

Transmission Problems, you shouldn't be driving with this on!
The OD light flashing is an indicator of an electrical failure in the transmission. Get it fixed now or replace the tranny later.
The overdrive off light flashing - indicates a malfunction has been detected
Normally the overdrive is allowed so you will not see the light If you have shut off the overdrive the O/D OFF light will be lit up in your dash
Is door ajar light on also?
Yes, a faulty speed sensor can cause the overdrive light to blink. The speed sensor provides information to the transmission control module about the vehicle's speed, and if it malfunctions, it can lead to erratic transmission behavior, including issues with overdrive engagement. When the transmission detects a problem, it may trigger the overdrive light to blink as a warning to the driver. It's important to diagnose and address the issue promptly to prevent further transmission damage.
