As I've stated a few times before: it's a relay and module associated with ignition. Take it to a good mechanic you trust. It'll cost you about $150.00. The blinking light thing happened in my 2002 Expedition two years ago. Haven't had a problem since.

Hey, I had this same problem, and I took it to our local shop. It was the PCM relay and a fuse. The PCM relay and the fuse are both very easy to get to located in the engine compartment fuse box. The PCM relay costs ~$30 and the fuse was also very cheap. So, before you take your vehicle to the dealer, CHECK THE PCM RELAY! It could save a lot of money. Hope this helps. -JC
