That light means that the shift points have changed on the transmission. This is to get better economy when hauling. If it wont stop flashing then there is a valve in the transmission that is bad or sticking. You will have to have it removed and overhauled..

The lever "pivot" has broken the wire leading up to the switch. Replace switch (I believe you must purchase the entire lever)

SOURCE: ford f250 diesel 2004 i had to replace batteries.

what you need to do first is find out what was the original problem. If you had bad batteries only,, then this should not of happened, But if you installed a defective alternator or did not disconnect the battery before replacing it you could of damaged something importtant if a short accured that did not pop the main fuse first. All the imputs for all functions come thru computers and only a proper diagnostic is going to find the problem. since you already stated you checked the obvious. Your going to need a diagnostic scanner to proceed.

2004 ford F250 6.0 super duty. the tow haul mode won't engage. no blown fuses.How do I check shift lever switch
