SOURCE: tow/haul light comes on gauge shows HOT

Does the trans fluid have a burnt smell and is it brown or dark brown as opposed to a red wine color? If this is the case then you may have a service issue caused by a clogged trans filter which is what this sounds a great deal like and the sooner you get the truck to the dealer or your mechanic the better as the trans in these are not cheap to rebuild or replace.

SOURCE: tow haul flashing,shifts like the tow haul buttons

If that light is flashing that means there is a problem with the trany. If you continue to drive it, it will damage the trany. I suggest you get it into a trany shop as soon as possible. I guess, I would take it to a private shop, that specializes in automatic transmissions, instead of taking it to a dealer.

2004 ford f250 superduty 6.0L dsl tow haul light flashing and doesnt want to go into reverse

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..

05 f-250 super duty Pulling trailer uphill reved up shifting down, bogged out no throttle response wrench light on. Top of hill pull over restart wrench light out Problem repeats at next hill. ford...

It does have a towing package right? A button on the end of the gearshift that you push in when towing? It sounds like it is in too high of gear. Maybe trans fluid gets hot and turns on the light? If it dont have the towing package? Are you keeping it in overdrive? Shift it down manually and keep it in 3rd when hauling any kind of weight.
Not sure if this helps but I know peopl that have burnt their transmission out pulling trailers in O/D

2003 ford f-350 trans temp gauge shows hot, tow / haul light blinks steadily....what could be the problem

From what i know of these trucks, its a "common problem". There is a tsb on this and the gauges arent really accurate. The tow light is blinking due to heating(not really), its trying to tell you to stop towing. Ive read that some guys gauge is reading 250 which if it really were, the truck would be running. Water boils at 220(im sure u know that). Suggestions ive come across is adding aftermarket gauges that give "accurate" readings unlike factory ones that are controlled by computer. Aftermarket will give you independent readouts.Heres a temp check you can try on your truck, im not sure if it will work for your model.




This is for the regular dash, like in XLT.
key off
push trip button in and hold
turn key on
"test" will appear in message display. Release button.
Gauges will sweep
then just push the button each time to scroll thru various modes.
Mostly junk info, but eventually you will come to temp, it is in Celcius so you have to convert to Farenheight(temp x 1.8 + 32)
Normal temp for mine at idle is 88, so 88x1.8=158.4,+ 32=190.4F
You can also view digital tach. All these modes are real time, and will remain on until you cycle the key on/off.

Turn signals 2003 Ford F-150

Sounds like the turn blinker is shorted internally. Suggest you change it out, to test this.

My next check is that no wiring is melted and burned, such as can happen with any connection to tow a trailer. U-Haul has fine print that indemnify them of any problems they cause! have you towed anything recently?
