The problem is that either the wiring harness going to the overdrive control motor has chafed and is shorting out, or the overdrive control motor is bad. Check out the wiring harness VERY carefully, if it's OK replace the control motor.

SOURCE: f150 transmission neutralizes when shifts to overdrive

I have that exact same truck and transmission and My Transmission did the exact same thing about a year ago and there was some kind of snap ring inside the transmission that broke. I originally thought it had to be an electirical problem because the truck shifted fine until OD or if i turned OD off. The 4r70w is a light transmission and i would suggest you have a shift kit put in and they make a heavier kit to beef it up.. Sorry its probably not the new you were looking for.

SOURCE: Overdrive switch blowing fuse on 2002 F150 Ford

Remove the shroud around the steering column and shifter and look closly at the wires coming out of the shifter at the pivot of the shifter, if its not to bad you can tapeit and reposition it and be good to go.

Overdrive issues

Blinking O/D light is a warning to the driver that they should take it to a qualified repair shop. Also for the technician that DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes are stored that will point a qualified tech to a problem for testing , electrical circuit's ,componets etc.... You have no idea of the complexity of these systems . Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop !
Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL)
The transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) is located in the instrument panel and is labeled O/D OFF. It is illuminated in conjunction with the TC switch.
The TCIL will flash if the EPC solenoid circuit is shorted or a fault has been detected in a monitored sensor used for transmission operation.

The over drive light keeps blinking and AC blowing hot air. I have changed the fuses but they keep blowing

The overdrive light blinking, possibly is indicating a faullt in the trans. Changing the fuse will do nothing for this. Unsure on AC fault.

1992 volvo 240 keeps blowing overdrive fuses

More likely that the solenoid in the transmission is shorted to ground. Has any new electronic equipment been installed recently, like stereo, alarm, etc?
