Soon after purchasing the vehicle used, the OD Off warning light started flashing, of course there was no warranty. At first I disconnected the battery to reset the codes. This worked for about three days and then it started to flash again. I took it in to the transmission shop in Okanogan, WA and told them of the problem, and also mentioned the vehicle was surging. Just before I dropped the vehicle off for repair, the light went out, of course, and I told the mechanic about it. When I picked up the vehicle, they had not touched the transmission at all, as they said they couldn't find any problem with it. They did, however, do a half-ass engine tune-up to correct the surging problem, and reset the codes. The very next day, the OD Off light started flashing again, of course. I took it in to another repair shop this time, because the transmission shop guys seemed clueless and were going to charge another arm and a leg. The second repair shop took apart the steering column looking for electrical shorts, and not finding any, they reset the codes. The next day the light started to flash again and it is still flashing. They said not to worry about the light, as long as the OD still switches on and off, which you can tell by going down the highway at around 50 or 60 mph and pressing the button. You will feel and hear the transmission OD switching on and off if it is working OK. Got any duct tape to cover the light? Any bright ideas?
