Try a transmission shop to read the codes that the flashing light is warning you about.

Same problem with my 4.0 explorer concerning the OD light. When the light is illuminated, go to a tranny shop and have them read code, do not turn off the engine as the light may not come back on when the vehicle is started. My problem was a simple sensor which was changed in minutes.
