Sounds like you have an electronic shift diff to put it in 2 or 4 wheel drive. You could have a bad position sensor, or shift motor/linkage problem. Unfortunately, unless you have the diagnostic tool to see which is the problem, it is best to take it too a good tranny shop.

sounds like over drive switch or transmision box

transfer case cluchs sliping not trans check flued for burnt smell

Hope this helps (remember rated this help) Good luck.

Tranny fluid may have been contaminated with coolant since tranny cooler lines go to radiator or condensor.
I would fix your leak on radiator, then completely drain tranny fluid and filter and replace.

mine is flashing too but it also needs a new transmission. it started right before it RED lined. so u may be having tranny problems. have it looked at.

check if your ABS system is having isues. This is were the 4WD system gets the input to go into 4 Wheel Drive.

you'll probably need to remove the RH exhaust manifold

my ford explorer engine is running weak and i'm losing a lot of gas milage..

If the OD light is flashing, your transmission is bad. Have it rebuilt, because it most likely is the transmission fluid pump. Good luck!
