Neutral Light Blinking

Neutral Light Blinking
2003 Mitsubishi Montero - Automatic
My car battery was dead. I had a friend jump me off. He hooked his cables up first, then I went to hook mine up and got a spark. He hooked them up anyway and checked his and they were hooked up wrong!! He switched them but my car was having a hard time staying cranked. I made it to auto parts store, they checked my battery and it was no good. I replaced the alternator and battery. Now... the Neutral Light is blinking when the car is in Drive, 1st & 2nd gears. The gears are not shifting when I try to drive it. It stays in drive at all times. What could be the problem and how can it be fixed?

My 2002 Eclipse died as I was getting on the freeway. I started it back up but it seemed sluggish. My check engine light came on and my neutral light began flashing. I pulled up into the driveway put the car in neutral then decided to move up a llittle bit. It would not go forward. It was raining this morning and I hit some pretty good patches of water on the highway. High enough water that my car seemed to slip a little. I had my oil changed 2 days ago.

Flashing "N" light is an indicator of a a Fail Safe mode. PCM detected some malfunction in the transmission and places vehicle into the "Fail Safe" mode. It allows you to drive slowly (1, 2 nd gear), but not full speed on highway. Many reasons for this, from simple wiring/harness issue to some major internal failure or actual PCM malfunction. You may have to have a mechanic scan the PCM with appropriate scanner to at least pull Transmission DTCs.
