THE OVERDRIVE SWITCH OF MY 96 RANGER XLT IS LOCATED ON THE GEAR SHIFT
HANDLE. THE WHOLE THING (O/D SWITCH) WAS TORN OFF BY MY EX. NOW THE
WIRES ARE EXPOSED. MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING REALLY BAD.
THE O/D LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING ON AND OFF. IS THIS SLIPPING CAUSED BY
THE BROKEN SWITCH? PLEASE ADVICE ASAP!

Probably not. The light is telling you there are error codes set. You
should have the codes read and then post them here.

No, it is caused by a broken transmission.

Maybe the EX did something to the transmission too.
