My 1997 Explorer has the check engine on, o/d light blinking since transmission replacement. I had noticed a lot of these problems but they only occurred when I replaced mine. It was a 97' worked great but after many years it needed to be replaced("made an ugly roaring noise when I started it.") The mechanic said they only had one (transmission) that was an upgrade I forgot the year but I'm thinking 02' he said it would work so I agreed. I am thinking this is an electrical problem and I think it's the problem to all the other problems I reported. I still love my SUV it has a lot of good memories.
