My girlfriends 99 Ranger did the same thing. The Overdrive light kicks on and off by itself, the ABS light may even come on, and the tranny will jump gears up and down by itself. It was the speed sensor. She got it replaced by Ford under warranty(had just bought the truck).

she just bought it, used less then 2 weeks ago, 90,000 miles on it, i doubt ford will chip in on this but its worth a shot

Tell her to go in and talk to the service manager about it. If she recently bought it, they should replace it since it was bad when they sold it to her, and thats just bad policy.
