Went through high water. Transmission doesn't shift right and overdrive light blinks
What is your question?
Went through a lot off high water. Now the transmission doesn't shift 1to 2 it runs high rpms and overdrive light blinks off and on. When I try to shift it myself from first to second it stays the same. From second to drive is slightly better.
What makes this problem better or worse?
It's the same hot or cold
How long has your 2001 Ford F-150 had this problem?
It just happened after going through a lot of high water. The wires are still plugged in.
Driving through Highwater could result in significant damage to various components. But it is impossible to know until you perform testing to find out what has happened. If water gets into internally lubricated items such as an engine or transmission, major problems will result.
It is too soon to tell whether there is some sort of water intrusion issue. You could have electrical systems compromised due to water in wiring connectors or something on that level.
Regardless, hands-on testing is required to find out what is going on here.
The best news here is that your overdrive light is blinking, indicating that there are saved diagnostic trouble codes that have been set due to a failure of some kind. These codes will assist in troubleshooting what has caused the problem you are experiencing. Doesn't mean it will be easy to fix, doesn't mean it will be inexpensive. But it does mean that it will be something that you can address and find out what is wrong.
