My 95 f-150 5.0L automatic transmission 2 wd has a problem and I don't know what to do to start with the o/d button is blinking and banging when going in reverse it drives but very slow and by want crank by the key new solenoid for starter but I can jump the solenoid and t starts please help I'm new to fords this is only my second one

 

If the OD light is blinking, you need to read out the EEC trouble codes.

 

OK thanks a lot I'm new to this page and really new to the Ford Nation I've always been been chevy and Toyota until bout 5 yrs. ago but anyway thanks trying it to learn the Fords

 

The transmission is electronically controlled. The flashing OD light is to the transmission as the check engine light is to the engine, they both store trouble codes in the PCM.

Do you have a 4R70W or a E4OD? The door jamb sticker will tell you, look at the TRANS code. 4R70W is "U" and the E4OD is "E".

 

I have the 4r70w I drove it a little last night it done OK but o/d button still blinking and bang real hard going from neutral to reverse
( is this true or some what true I was told it may be the solenoids the control locker and the 2 shifter solenoids )

 

You need to read out the codes to tell you which solenoids are having issues, or if it's something else.

Yeah, the best source of information on what's wrong is the computer in the truck. It's seeing an error. IF you can find out what it's not happy about then we can help guide you on where to go with it from there.

Thank you I'm going to put it on the machine asap to find out what code or codes that the computer is not likening hopefully it's something simple and if ITS the solenoids a friend just gave me some brand new ones unopened in box he had just bought them then wrecked his truck he was telling me that it sounded to him it was the solenoids but said as you said to check codes first Thanks again I like this site it's been a lot of help so far all the people that use it have been lots of help thank you again and f_150 online

 

You MUST read the codes to be able to fix this. If you keep driving it the way it is I guarantee that you'll need a new transmission.
