Hello house. Please i need help with my ford escape 2002. A few months ago on a long journey, i noticed the od light started blinking. When i turn the car off and turn it on again, it stops but starts blinking again after about 5km drive. Then it started to shudder and slip in and out. I was able to manage it homw in limp mode.

After a lot of sensors and other things were changed, the light still continued to blink and the gear gor worse so i decided to get another transmission rather than rebuild. A few days ago, another transmission was fixed which works perfectly but then after a few minutes of driving, the od light starts blinking again.

Three gears had been fixed previously which will work and then stop working after a while. But with this gear, i insisted my mexhanic has to be the one to detach the gear from the engine at the warehouse in ladipo to avoid been given a gear that was repaired.

This new gear works perfectly but then after driving a few minutes, thw ABS light comes on then the od light starts to blink butbin this case it doesnt slip and it doesnt shudder. The car keeps moving perfectly but the light keeps blinking. When its turned off and turnwd on again, the same scenario plays out, after a few minutes, ABS comes on and od starts blinking

So please does anyone have any idea about this? Can a fault with the ABS cause the od light to blink? If not, what coúld be responsible?
I will also appreciate the xontact of any ford specialist

If I may take a guess on this. One or 2 wheel speed sensors aren't picking the right signal from the wheel to tell the computer box the speed at which the car is moving. A guess I said. First thing you need to fo is carry out a proper diagnosis. Which would involve running a comprehensive scan and also carry out a test on failed component if any. If you are in lagos call and you need solution call 08156087872 or 08165520837

Sorry op, is it that gear is now the only thing #5 naira can buy in Nigeria.

In addition to what have been said, make sure your tyres are of the same size and pressure.

they are. Thanks

Mistook your post for another complaining about power loss at specific speed. Darn!

Have you scanned? For sure, ABS fault can cause what you are experiencing. Have it fixed and see if it does not go away.

My candid advise is to do a thorough scan that with diagnose what exactly could be wrong, as this would safe time and energy looking for what's not lost
