This might help a ton and save you money! So easy to fix, this video sounds like the same problem described! ABS light on, o/d flashing, check engine light on, tranny seems to be having issues, speedometer stops working. All fixed as described by the first answer james_hust , not tying to take your mojo but the video shows you what you need to do.

If the problem you are having is that anywhere below 30 mph your odometer goes all over but at 40 mph and above it is fine. Also your ABS light is continuously remained on the whole time.
This problem is a 15 to 20 min fix. Go down to your auto parts store and it will cost you under $20.00. The name of the part that you will need is called a magnet speed control sensor. This is located on top of your rear differential. You will have to crawl under your truck with a 3/8 inch wrench to get the job done. Good Luck!

Ford Ranger 98'Splash don't shift 3rd and

you will need to connect it ti a scanner to confirm but it sounds like your solenoid (there is a solenoid that controls those gears inside your tranny) the part is actually cheap and should take no time to replace. the cost comes in a way of replacing the tranny fluid that will be lost.

2002 ford wind star o/d light started flashing after car wash

Two things that it could be.
1 - Look under the hood, there is a wire coming out of the master cylinder, there was a problem with some of the windstars that leak brake fluid, run down the wires and drip on the neutral safety switch, which would cause the light to come on.
2 - This one solved my problem. It could be the transmission valve body that needs to be updated or changed out. There are many issues with these valve bodies. Slipping from 1-2, OD light blinking, shift 1-2-3-2, late down shift from 3-2. I had all of these.
If you do some work on cars, then you should be able to change out the valve body yourself, with a torque wrench. I picked one up on ebay for $180 with shipping both ways, and took my about 2 hours. My Windstar never drove so good.
-fyi, The OD solenoid is inside the transmission.

The trans has failed, is the OD light on the shift handle blinking? in any event you need to get the transmission control module tested for trouble codes, this will give us some idea of what has happened.

1999 Windstar ABS/Traction/OD off light and speedometer

Its a faulty sensor switch on your brakes master cylinder. It leaks brake fluid into the wires that are plugged into it and causes a short in the circuit, resulting in a blown fuse that controls the AC, odometer, speedometer, cruise control, and ABS light to come on. This problem can also cause a fire. The fire can occur even when the vehicle is off. To fix this problem go to this URL - http://www.fordwindstarrecall.info/
