Overdrive flashing can usually be solved by turning off/on the engine. I have a Ford too.

Thanks for the suggestions people. The problem was fuse #24, a 10 amp circuit that controls the factory trailer charge circuit, the new heavy charge circuit, the ABS circuit, and turn signal. Have not driven yet so don't know if Speedo is working.
Weather is nice. The new TC AGM batteries have a ton of power and are still at 12.6-7 volts after deliberate heavy use.
Will keep posted.
PS. The smart phones are spoiling us


Good so far....Hope all is ok..

Jeff, the Agm batteries will show in the neighborhood of +.15 to +.2 vdc more than flooded wet cells for a given state of charge...Be aware of that!

The agm voltage on the solar controller at night is always at 12.8volts. It drops as the load increases. We had it down to 12.5 with the lights, furnace, pump, and three charging devices running. This morning, the voltage was about 12.6. My old batteries would have been 12.1-2 volts. There is no need for us to use the shore power.

You must be over at Florence for the Rhody festival. The town really livins up at night with all the old cars & motorcycles. Good parade on Sunday. It's been years since we've been. Used to ride the bike over with friends to take part in all the festivities. Enjoy your weekend.

Made it here but Speedometer quit, ABS & check engine lights are on, & the overdrive switch light is blinking.
I'll figure it out in the morning.

Mine did that last year in Oregon,can't remember exactly where but I think it was Reedsport, I also have a Ford but I think it is the air up there that does it Mine started working again the next day but it went out again on a trip to Yosemite. I replaced the sender on the rear axle and haven't had a problem since. Sometimes you can just remove and clean them and it will fix the problem.

The overdrive light blinking is another story though. What year is your rig?

It is nice here.
In Astoria, OR. The Maritime Museum has the bridge of the USS Kidd I believe which was a Fletcher Class on display.

Watching for the solar eclipse but we have clouds.
Yesterdays car show and Harley shows were good. Today was the parade and was also fun. Will post pictures when we get home.

Welcome to Oregon! We end up at Honeyman a couple of times a year. Easy trip with the Grandkids. I love the Oregon Coast there are so many great places to go!

I have a special request:

Forty-plus years ago, while camped at Honeyman, my kid brother buried a matchbox car SOMEWHERE in the campsite.

We searched and searched for it, but never turned it up- he maintains to this day that "the rabbits took it". (It's my belief he was/is "covering up", given that his older brother was the actual rightful owner)

In any case:
If you happen to excavate a matchbox car, or see a rabbit in possession of same, please do let me know and I'll send out a retrieval party....

Thanks!
