Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / November 20072003 Exp - O/D Blinking
Hi All, Last night I was driving and thought I smelled something burning for a second or two then it went away. Thought it might be coming from outside the vehicle. Now my O/D light is blinking constantly and the car is shifting a little funny. Not shifting bad, but definitely different... Any thoughts? I am going to get under the vehicle and check the wiring to the vehicle speed sensor today as well as check the wiring to look for anything noticeable. Haven't gotten the codes checked out yet, but will take by Autozone today to see if they can read the codes for me. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > gotten the codes checked out yet, but will take by Autozone today to > see if they can read the codes for me. The blinking O/D light indicates a transmission problem. This is covered in the owners guide. THe guide says something like: "Overdrive off: Illuminates when the overdrive function of the transmission has been turned off, refer to the Driving chapter. If the light flashes steadily or does not illuminate, have the transmission serviced soon, or damage may occur." Exactly what vehicle do you have. A 2003 Exp could be an EXPlorer or an EXPedition. Potentially different transmisisons and a different set of failures. Is it 2WD or 4WD? Which engine? Ed I have a 2003 Expedition EB - 5.4L Triton 2wd >> Hi All, >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Ed >I have a 2003 Expedition EB - 5.4L Triton 2wd Join the Expediton Owners Mailing List and ask that group. See <http://mail.xpog.com/mailman/listinfo/expedition>. My suggestion is to have the codes read as soon as possible. It might be an easily corrected problem, but letting it go could lead to larger problems later on.

Service advisor stated it was a solenoid issue causing the over temp condition. All fixed now... Driving real nice as of picking it up early evening. This is what my service order states: "ROADTEST EECTEST CODE P1783 TRANS OVER TEMP REPLACE MAINCONT CONNECTOR FOR CODE P1783 ROADTEST AFTER REPAIRS" QTY PART # DESC 1 F8AZ-7G276-BA CONNECTOR $32.47 $32.47 14 XT-5-QM FLUID - TRANSM 4.75 66.50 LABOR 338.95 TOTAL $437.92 > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > anything noticeable.

Technically, the light is telling you the transmission THINKS it is having trouble. The trouble may be real, or not. I would proceed as if there is trouble until you determine without reservation that there is no trouble. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > anything noticeable.
