You didn't state the make, model, or year of the car. On most newer model cars the transmission is computer controlled. A flashing OD light means there is a problem. Take the car to the dealer or to a good independent transmission shop. Avoid chain transmission shops.
The 1997 Toyota Avalon stop light switch simply plugs in and out. Take hold of the stop light switch and pull outward. Plug the new stop light switch in.
Could be a bad flasher
I have a 2002, the same thing happens. I found out that , if you always lock doors with remote, it will stop. Once I did that, it has not done it since. It happened almost once a week, but not in a year. When it does that turn the key on but not the engine, wait for the security light to stop flashing . once it is solid than turn off key and start car. it worked for me hope it works for you.
You may have to get it checked however, it could just be a short or loose wire.
Beeping or blinking lights indicate a problem within a car. In order to get the lights to stop, a person must fix the problem.
By having the problem repaired. Take it to a professional, as you have a transmission problem.
When the overdrive off light flashes it means the powertrain control module has "received" information of a transmission problem. Take it in to the dealer or other transmission repair professional, continuing to drive with the O/D OFF light flashing can result in damage to the transmission.
Switch the ignition off and start the car again.The light will then stop flashing.
The light is flashing because there is a problem. The problem will need to be diagnosed and repaired to stop the flashing.
The light will flash if the vehicle senses that you should be in overdrive (based on speed) but aren't. There should be a button on the end of your gearshift lever to turn overdrive back on. The only time you should turn that off is, for example, if you are pulling a trailer in the mountains. Turn OD back on and the light will stop flashing. If it doesn't stop then there is a problem with the transmission going into overdrive.
when the glow plug light is flashing during driving it is not the plugs that need replaced it normally means you have a bulb blown most commonly one of your sidelights and once replaced your glow plug light will stop flashing
A flashing red traffic light is used the same way as a stop sign. You treat a flashing red traffic light the same way you do as a stop sign. If the traffic light is "blacked-out", it's to be treated as an all-way stop. What I do when I come up to a flashing red traffic light, I look at the cross-traffic signals to see if they're also flashing red, or if they're flashing yellow to see if they stop or if they don't stop.
Flashing amber light means slow down, watch for potential dangers. Flashing red means stop; proceed if and when it is safe.
Red=stop red flashing= light is broken, use your judgement in crossing.

The light is flashing because your trans is displaying that there is a fault with the trans itself. Need to have a qualified tech read the code from the trans I had the same problem. The tranny shop replaced the shift position sensor and the problem was solved. As stated above, you need a transmission shop to diagnose it with there diagnostics computer.
Treat it as a stop sign.
