Why don't you guys ever say what the symptoms were before the fix that would be a lot more helpful but great vids

[@insanemind5321]

This comment should still be number 1

[@laconabrown2084]

Wait, wait WAAAAYYYIT. WE NEED A VIDEO MADE TAGGING EVERY CAR MODEL while outlining HOWWW TO MAKE A CAR REPAIR VEEEEDEO! ANY TAKERS? GOOD SHIT.

[@laconabrown2084]

I concur, FULLY, AND AWARE OF HOW IT SHOULD BE. WHEW

[@GenesisReveal]

You're supposed to do it just for fun I guess.

[@randallbrazil1149]

This is exactly the problem I was having with my 2008 ranger sport 3.0 v 6 so thank u very much saved me some money

[@richs65treebucketservice24]

Will this faulty device keep the trans from shifting into 4th gear ...?

[@mikeupton5406]

Have this vehicle. The column shift will not go into park. Have to start it in neutral. Has all forward and reverse. Shifter brackets top and bottom do not seem loose or sloppy. Will that solenoid also prevent the shifter from going into park?

[@CrisG1600]

I have the exact same problem did you fix the issue and what was the issue?

[@ErnDWhite]

thanks 1A auto you guys are the best. Great videos, great parts.

[@richardsullivan2862]

I have a 2005 Ford ranger with a column shift and if you look in the owner's manual the override procedure for a vehicle stuck in park is you put the key to the on position turn the key back off and pull it out put the key back in click it forward one position and the shifter will come out of park and you can put the shifter in neutral and start the vehicle

[@randallbrazil1149]

Also very good to know

[@zurdoremi]

Hi, what is the difference between the shift interlock solenoid and the neutral safety switch? Or are they the same?

[@1AAuto]

+zurdo The neutral safety switch prevents the starter from operating unless the gear shift is in neutral or park whereas The interlock switch may be referring to the switch that prevents moving out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed.

[@norbertrivera]

i have this problem with my Ranger Splash 1995 V6 3.0L When i put the key and start my Ranger is ok ,no problem with that,the problem is that i can't shift from parking to drive because is stocked. I need to turn off the engine and barely move the key to the front without start the engine,more or less in the middle, now i can shift to N and once here i can turn on my ranger and shift to drive ,R,2 and L but if i move again to Parking again get stocked .Did i have the same problem like in the video or is the key cylinder?

[@1AAuto]

+Norbert Rivera We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@jdee150]

Will this work on a 97 expedition?

[@MrBlueeyedBob]

on a1999 crown victoria do i have to remove the steering wheel to get to the solenoid?

[@lesliecogan641]

I've had starting problems for a few months now. Replaced the starter, then it was that one of my terminals was eaten through and not getting full connection with the battery post...I had that replaced. Now again, it won't start; in park anyway. Remember seeing or hearing for some reason someone was starting a car in neutral to get it started. Tried that and it started. I'm in a small town and am dismayed at the mechanics for not seeming to know of all ways a vehicle won't start, or have power. After reading comments, I'm guessing its the neutral switch I'm needing. Maybe you can verify. I'm a 60 yr old lady, grew up a tomboy and at least for the solenoid, I believe I can replace myself. Any advice? At some point, I'm guessing a fuel filter or something similar would need replacing and that subject is on my mind in relation to my power problem.

[@robbobsjobs8456]

I think your on the right track, i had dropped my steering wheel to fix the bushing on the gear shift tube assembly, inadvertently pinched the wires to the shift park siliniod. Truck would light up and radio on, but not turn over.

[@ramon2622]

Can you please show how to replace interlock solenoid on 2010 Toyota Corolla S.

[@davidpatch1683]

The bracket broke and i need to know if a new one is available to replace old one

[@chillts752]

I have a 95 ford ranger that when shifted in reverse it shifts to first would this be a possible fix ?

[@wasblind4835]

I have a 94 Ford ranger. It slips all the time. Runs great in reverse. Just in forward gear it hesitates sometimes slips out of gear. It has been doing this for about 5 years. Do I have a sylanoid in it?

[@jorgeurrea2034]

I have a 99 Ford Windstar LX, with the same problem, thank for show how repair this problem, thanks again

Mine was and 2008 ford ranger sport 3.0 was hard to shift down from park changed this I'm good to go

[@mahmoudragab3627]

I have a question , every time I press brakes does the solenoid unlocks? so lets say i keep my foot on brakes too long does it get hot and breakdown?

[@jmateo305]

Does the same process apply for a crown Vic?

[@WzupMydudeNdudettes]

Question where is the shift solenoid located on a 98 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4

[@jefferycarter3142]

Is there a substitute alternater I can use for a 1992 ford f150 ext.cab, and there's no shift solinoid for reverse for the 1996 ford ranger XLT.....Help If You Can.........

[@micheledoddkelton6598]

What were the symptoms

[@burrheadjr]

He talks a bit about it starting at 5:30

[@1AAuto]

+Michele Dodd This part can get stuck preventing you from switching gears. Burrheadjr is correct, the tech starts explaining this at 5:30 in the video. Thanks for the comment.

[@mehere9215]

WOW amazing video, so clear anyone can do it, now, my truck transmission, have a kick when it changes gear, it drives fine, reverse is ok with a kick also, do you think is the Solenoid or could be something else?

[@rayohector]

I have the same problem on my 2003 Ford ranger. Did you find out what it was?

[@mehere9215]

@@rayohector No I have not find out the actual problem, is parked in my driveway for over 8 months now, I drive it around the block just to move it around, but i was told not to drive it. Keep you up dated..

[@rudysison9010]

My 1999 ford has no reverse, drives forward just fine. What do you think is the issues??? It's an automatic.

Came here to find a solenoid video I had found elsewhere on internet. You guys!- it was so well written, and well spoken sexy bald man, clear, to the point video. Wanted more!! There was an advertisement of an asteroid obliterating objects in space with awesome modern badass throat singing (in hindsight, probably 'computer song' rather than throat singing) and I hung in there to see what this ... literally awesome- combination of visual eye-candy asteroid and aboriginal chords was going to...create... was an iPhone ad. *feels nauseous, forgets purpose, and hopes the car-place didn't do-me-wrong cause I'm just going to leave internet now* But!! May someday return to humanity- will hit subscribe so your channel may be the light guiding me back.

If this part goes bad will a car be hard to crank over when on an incline and not throw a code or engine light?

[@Sunsetschano]

I have a 98 ford explorer 4x4 automatic

[@richardpratt95]

I have a 97 f150 that I can't feel the jump it usually does when it goes from gear to gear. It just glides from park down to drive. It just doesn't do that locking feeling if used to do when you change gears.

[@1AAuto]

+Richard Pratt ah okay that is interesting.

[@JuanTorres-ny9ff]

Hey, did you find out what your problema with your truck was?

[@undeadm3rcy]

I have a similar problem, I have a 1995 Ford Ranger Xlt which only operates in reverse, i was thinking maybe the shifting solenoids but i would like to have your opinion before I spend money on what maybe not causeing the problem.

[@sterlinghousewashpressurew9594]

Jakeb Siler did you ever figure the problem out? I just bought a 98 with the same issue

[@samueldodd5069]

Did you fix it? Mine only works in reverse too...

[@Robdigg1]

I had a starter put in my 02 Buick century last year. When I saw the starter I control it wasn't an original. The other day I was running around town making a few stops after the car got hot it would not start. No sounds nothing. I checked the battery which is about a 10 mints old and the battery was charged fully. I let it cool down and it started. Could it be the starter again

[@christinerains1941]

This video is very informative for a ranger. I cant find one for my 04 escape xlt. Would it done pretty much the same way?

[@1AAuto]

+Christine Rains It may be a different procedure on that particular application. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com

[@rodneyleonard8714]

Hi, I'm old, fixed income. Can i tape/glue the solenoid open, to avoid the expense of replacing it?

[@1AAuto]

+Rodney Leonard That seems like a bad idea. The solenoid is actually an important safety feature and it would be dangerous to defeat it. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@darrelldanger584]

I have a 1995 XLT 4X4 Ranger with a 4.0 that has transmission issues. The O/D OFF light flashes and the transmission will not kick out of low when taking off and has no reverse. Is this a shift solenoid?

[@GritzAKAGrs]

Was it the solenoid?

[@NutsandBoltsAuto]

The one you've been looking for is in the transmission. Remove the pan and itll be right there.

[@squirefan1]

My 2005 Sport Trac shifts fine taking off but when I come to a stop, it acts like it’s not shifting back into low gear. Feels like when you don’t push the clutch pedal on a stick shift coming to a stop. It’ll stall out but usually start back up and then act right. Or you can manually shift it into 2 or 1 gear and it will do fine till the next time. Any ideas?

[@jessigames8593]

I know this is old but did you fix the problem? I'm having the same issue on a 96 Bronco with a p0500 code. I've changed the vehicle speed sensor and no change. I'm thinking I'll try changing the connector next but I'm trying to find anything else that can cause this issue. It shifts hard into 2nd and 3rd then the overdrive light flashes on the shifter. It won't shift back down unless I put it in reverse then back in drive it'll start over in 1st gear. I can put it in 1st or 2nd on the column and it takes off fine.

[@homesculptor]

I have a 2004 ford ranger. It lost transmission on the freeway. As I was coasting in, I couldn't shift out of gear, but when I stopped, with the engine running, I could shift into all gears, but no transmission or movement. I looked in the transmission inspection hole, and the clutch is working fine, it appears. I think it has to be the transfer case. However, the 4x4 switch shows it will engage, but its like stuck in neutral no matter what gear I'm in. I'm stumped, and cannot find similar conditions in forums.
