I have a 1995 Ford Windstar with a 3.8. The overdrive light on the gearshift is flashing. I don't have a manual. Can someone tell my what this flashing light means?
Thanks

You should have it scanned for fault codes ASAP. The flashing light indicates a problem with the transmission has been detected. It is possible that an immediate diagnosis by a skilled technician can get the problem corrected relatively inexpensively. If you choose to wait, a delayed inexpensive repair can result in extensive and expensive collateral damage to the transmission including total failure.

Get Ye to a Dealer or Mechanic quickly.
Take that from a '95 windstar owner who's working on his 2nd engine and 4th transmission (actually the 2nd, the first was rebuilt twice before being replaced) With my 1st 3, a hundred miles, or so, after the blink started, the trans quit!

Everyone thinks (Thinks?) It needs rebuilt. If this is true I'll drive it till it stops then sell it to the junk yard. At $1600 to $1800 to rebuild it isn't worth it to me.
It's been a great Van but has outlived it's usefullness. It has 180,000 miles on it with NO problems at all, none.
