Default O/D light keeps blinking..

Recently my Overdrive light keeps blinking and my speedometer stops working when this happens. Is this some kind of a code that the car is having problems?

Also...the car powersteering went bad a couple months ago and Ive been driving it the whole time with no power steering. Does this matter?

If you have any info on this, please help. Thanks.

The Flashing O/D light is the equivalent of the check engine light for the transmission.

Since your Speedo is dying, it's probably the No. 1 Speed Sensor, but diags would be able to tell you more.

I had the flashing OD light in my soarer and after replacing a couple of leaking capacitors in the ECU it stopped.
