SOURCE: overdrive transmission

O/D light flashing is computer indicating an issue with the transmission -no surprise. Make sure the transmission fluid is still good (dosn't smell burnt, right level). Slipping could be the TCC (torque Converter clutch) - not a cheap part - but would only really slip in 4th gear (above 40 mph). Slipping before that could be numerous things in the trans (low fluid pressure, torque converter issues).
I would be tempted to replace the fluid anyhow, but there is a chance an expensive issue is starting to arise - and replacing the fluid on a failing transmission could cause it to fail 100% (or can fix it nearly 100%). These can be touchy transmissions, too much DIY without the right diagnostic tools can be bad. Not what you wanted to hear, and not an expert, but have had some expertise with these.hope that helps.

SOURCE: changing the tail light bulbs on a 2000 mazda 626

The Tail Lights Are Accessed From The Inside Of The Trunk There Will Either Be A Panel Immediately Behind Where The Light Is Or Carpet. Remove It And It Will Give You Access To The Rear Of The Bolts Just Grab Twist And Pull And The Light Will Come Out.

SOURCE: 2000 mazda 626 o/d off light blinking/flashing.

the light is flashing to alert u to the fact that a fault has occured in the transmission, the common cause is slipping, you may not even feel this, but to confirm where the problem is the system must be tested for fault codes.

SOURCE: how can i fix my mazda 626 transmission range

The transmission range sensor aka neutral safety switch is located underneath the air filter on top of the transaxle and very easy to access. Replace this part (around $50) and it will solve your problem.
What happens is this, when your tranny warms up, it disperses heat to the sensor switch and if its faulty or worn out, will send faulty relays to the transmissiom computer module (TCM) and makes the transmission shift irratically (OD to 3rd and back while driving at freeway speeds). You tranny is not overheating like most people believe, its the switch. Mechanics are telling alot of people that their tranny needs replaced. Watch Out For These People!! They only want your money!!

I have a 2000 mazda 626 and my air conditioning is not getting cold. The freon is full in the car.the car smokes at a red light when just sitting there while air is on. Wht could be the problem?

Is it possible that the clutch on the compressor is not engaging or the compressor itself is locked up. When you turn on the air, does the engine bog down noticeably? If so one of the two above are likely.

You can reset these codes by disconnecting the negative side of your battery, has to be the negative side, for 5 minutes and then try it. If the light comes back then you may have a problem.
