overdrive switch is blinking and tranny slips when shifting.
I have a 2000 Ranger 3.0 w/ auto trans. The O/D OFF switch is blinking and the truck idles at 2200 RPMs. The O/D button located on my column shifter has never worked. I have drove the truck at least 4,000 miles since I bought it without any transmission issues. Last night I had to drive my truck home in 2nd gear. I have a transmission for it but does it need one? Thanks..
----------
anybody?

Re: overdrive switch is blinking and tranny slips when shifting.
I just had the same issues and had to get the whole transmission rebuilt. you could try to unhook the positive wire on the battery to reset the computer, but other than that take it a dealership or mechanic to see whats really going on because it could be a number of things

Re: overdrive switch is blinking and tranny slips when shifting.
Is there a fuse or relay or something for the OD?
Maybe check that.
not sure but maybe check the linkage too

Re: overdrive switch is blinking and tranny slips when shifting.
it may be bad valve body gaskets, but don't quote me on that.

That was my guess the 4r55e and I think the 5r55e are fairly common to blow them causing the trans to not want to shift properly

Verdict.....I had about 3 quarts to many of ATF and the gasket blew.

If it is just the valve body gasket that is not to hard to replace I replaced mine just a bunch of bolts to keep up with

Re: overdrive switch is blinking and tranny slips when shifting.
I agree with the valve body gasket, they are known to go bad and when this happens, there is loss of pressure in the transmission which can cause the problem you are describing. I would try changing the valve body gasket before looking into a rebuild.
