Ford Trans Range Sensor Install Without Special Tools

I got this code on the highway lost power 2003 Excursion

Where is this located?

I have an 08 ranger 4x4, just put a nother transmission in it. New filter/fluid, when it shifts into overdrift it will act as if it was put into neutral until i move shifter up or down a gear. Getting the code for this TRS, would it cause that problem though?

Can I just put the truck in neutral at the shifter? If not are you pushing the lever towards the front or back of the truck

i got this code p0708 and i put the new one on but i still have no shift indicator lights it will start and drive but i got the witch and only one gear. the wiring looks good and plug too. could it still be a little off from the mark.

Does this work with a 98 mustang?

will it damage if it gets oil on the connector

Thank you

Would this cause a hard shift?

For anyone about to do this the big one is 15 mm in a smaller one is 8 mm. If you have four-wheel-drive you will need wrenches because sockets won't fit with the front drive shaft.

If your shifter seems hard to shift replace this. Mine was stiff for the first four months I owned it and then I lost backup camera and reverse lights. I replace this and now it shifts easily.

Be sure to spray WD-40 on the big nut before you even attempt this. Also need WD-40 on the shaft so that the sensor will slide off. I ended up having to break mine and using channel locks to get the plastic insert off the shaft

05 Crown Victoria having trans problem will up shift and drive fine but when I’m slowing down/downshifting and I get to 20mph-15mph and then want to speed back but my RPM shoot up and then hard shift. It will only do that at 15-20 when I’m still rolling and wanting to speed up has a new MAF and TPS clear codes and reset computers still have same problem

Would this part,if bad, cause intermittent late shift and slip gear when accelerating?

What do you do if the marks are not aligned and you don't have the special tool?

My ford escord doesnt have these lines. theres a thicvk plastic line that was molded from the factory but no skinny lines.

Is this same as the 2007 ford edge. If I put my vehicle in park the reverse lights remain on. Or is my issue here with the shifter as to why this is occurring? I have to keep it in neutral with the emergency brake on. And it wont start in park. Only when I have the shifter lever set to neutral position.

Hey, I have an 04 f150 and was wondering what is the best way to get the gear selector nut off? I've sprayed it with pb blaster, but I don't want to put a lot of pressure there to break it loose.

I have 2001 F250 that keeps showing P0705 and flashing Overdrive on dash have replaced Transmission Range Sensor 3 times and code is still there. Replaced Wire Harness at Sensor and code is still there, how do I find the harness on the engine side? And wiring Diagram. Love your videos helped me a lot with my old Expedition.

I just had the 5R55S out of my 2002 explorer to replace the rear crank seal and now the tranny wont shift into third from drive. It behaves as if it is still in drive and even shifts thru the gears when starting out from a dead stop with the shifter in third. Could this be the culprit as the trans was recently fully rebuilt and all of the solenoids passed the ohm test with flying colors? The shift lever was also rather stiff after the install but has loosened up since.

Hello! Thanks for all the help you’ve given me with my truck so far, haha. I have an 05 F150 4.6L with a reman trans installed at ford dealership (warranty went out 2 months before this happened and they said “good luck” when I called about it) that wont go into OD. First occurred going down highway at 70mph, truck neutrals out. 1st, 2nd, and reverse all work great. Just neutrals out around 40 mph now instead of shifting. I pulled the valve body per your video on the broken snap ring for the od servo. Everything looked good inside, nothing broken or any valves stuck. I have no codes or have had any flashing lights. Could that be this switch if everything except OD works fine? There’s been a few times where it will crank but wont start unless its in neutral. Thanks for the years of help!

how to change transmission range sensor mazda range 2017

So I think this just went in my 01expedition. Overdrive light blinking on and off, won't accelerate but it got me home very slowly (thankfully) is this the real issue? Got a code P0707. Help! I love my expedition

I did a PMI PCM replacement on a 2018 Full size transit cargo, performed parameter reset after programming completed all using IDS with VCM2. When finished no illuminated prindle, no start, with range sensor codes. Reinstalled old pcm prindle returned and restarted. this was a new PCM from Ford. Bad PCM or did I miss something?

Thanks! I was just reading the FSM and it said "use the special tool" -- glad it isn't really needed.

I love this guy

I know this an old video for you but it really helped me. I have an 03 Explorer that blew the cassettes I could not pull the engine so I had to drop the tranny. After that it would not shift… replaced the solenoid per your vid. Still not shifting and no reverse but it did work before I dropped the tranny. Then I found this video problem almost solved. I had the alignment on it all set problem is I have to put pressure on the shift pushing it towards Neutral and then it shifts? So do I load the lever before I put the plastic retaining clip on or what did I do wrong? Thx if you have time!

I already changed it but the problem continues someone help me

My 2000 expedition 5.4 has the overdrive light blinking ,and reverse, my question is does the same relay affect both things

Mike, I have a 97 mark viii that will not shift into overdrive. Tried to turn it off using the button...nothing. Any help?

I got p0708 on 03 explorer and it won't start, it did start once and the od off light was flashing also. Is this the problem?

Any idea what would cause a repeat failure of this part? Already replaced it twice and got the code again on my 2003 F150 while plowing snow.

What harm can come from not replacing it? The only symptom I get is an occasional surge when backing up.

I was getting fault codes for this and my transmission would come out of OD. It would downshift to 3rd gear and go back to 4th and would keep doing this. Had it replaced and it kept doing it when it got hot. It was a Dorman part. Took it back and they replaced it with an OEM part. Worked for a week and started doing it again. Would this happen because it's not lined up or another issue? This is on a 2008 F150. I'm hoping to check the alignment later today.

Can a bad TRS take out the PCM?

Is this a gen 11?

Would this problem also be blowing out fuse 23 on the outside box? Been on so many forums with this issue. Another mention it could be TRS sensor

Is a trans range sensor same as neutral safety switch?

I just replaced a broken shift cable on my 2007 f150 and it wont start until I place it in neutral. Could sensor be bad in this range or position control sensor?

Hello I cannot for the life of me find where my sensor is located. 2003 Ford Mustang V6 if that helps

Would this fix a no shift to 3rd and 4th on a 99 mustang gt auto? Brand new trans.

After installing a new range sensor it’s still having the same issues. What else could be wrong?

Ahhhh what fine lines?

You make it sound cool and easy,,, i can do that now!

is that Ford Diesel? i have an 05 Excursion 6.0 diesel with bad trans range sensor

Where is that located on 2010 f150?

does this effect how the transmission shifts? or is it just for the neutral safety and backup lamps? I have mine hanging in the N position and trying to troubleshoot a late shift and unexpected downshift on 98 expedition

EXCELLENT

Do you happen to have a video of a 2010 escape? Mine won’t start and I’m getting a p0706 and p0708

Do you have to make sure your shift lever is reading neutral also probably not

I might have to replace one on my 08 f250

Hey body I have a question is it range sensor can cause problems to backup my and move forward I change my transmission but is dont engage my gear what you think it is

I need help I'm buying a 2002 ford escape the 4 wheel drive dont work the guy said it's a sensor any advice please
