Default Flashing overdrive..

Hello all, first time posting on this site.

I picked up a 94 f250 idi non turbo, auto., regular cab, 104k orig. miles, later I found out the guy I purchased it from had reset the computer, along with hiding a few other issues.
Anyway, 50-70 miles into my ride home, my dash started looking like Christmas time with all the lights going on, and it got some nice whiplash from the erratic shifting. I crawled my way home and got to work.
Now I know there are hundreds of these flashing overdrive cases across the internet, but I just can't get a grasp on mine.. I keep getting codes 23 & 62. Ones and a while I will get a 10 in there as well, but I have been told the scanner throws the 10 in there to separate the codes? the other day I even got an 11 after the 23, which according to my book stands for something along the lines of "system OK"..
Now, I have adjusted my TPS, I had a mechanic check it over as well. Also replaced my PCM, checked all the wires going to my TPS, all were good.
My reverse lights were working sometimes, and I read that this can cause the flashing OD, had to get my neutral safety switch/harness replaced due to corrosion.

When I reset my codes, the truck acts and shifts perfectly fine, but when those codes come back, it shifts hard.

I am just beginning to get used to re setting my codes because I can't figure this one out, had a mechanic take a look at it who has dealt with these issues on these trucks and he is lost as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Because I am goin nuts

Do you have the abs module that is located behind the glovebox?

Pull the domelight fuse out for 2 minutes, then reinsert it.

I replaced the ABS unit that is located under the truck, on the drivers side. I haven't gone behind the glove box, what should I be looking for back there?

As for the dome light, those 2 little spot lights don't work, I replaced the fuse and bulbs, nothing, figured I would let you know incase that helps diagnose it. I'll try pulling the fuse out. Just curious, what will that do?

The fuse also powers a few other electronics and it's one of the fixes most people use for this

Behind the glove box should be a box about 4x6 it's the abs control module

Okay,
I unplugged the fuse(8 on the fuse panel chart), kept it unplugged for a couple minutes. Now should I just replace it? Those little spotlights on the dome light aren't working, but I don't know if that has to do with that fuse or not.

I also looked behind the glove box and I believe I see the ABS module,(just a black box) I took a picture but I don't know how to attach images on this site.

Upload it to some place like photobucket, then click the image picture when making a post, and insert the url of the picture, and yes. Unplug it, and try driving it

Okay.
As of now it's not flashing because I re set it not to long ago.
Now, when I un plug it, will it effect my braking power? Just want to make sure before I smash into the back of someone
