Trans Range Sensor Install No Special Tools Required

[makuloco2000]

I have gotten many question on this over time and wanted to address it once and for all. A failing trans range sensor is more common on some vehicles than others, rotted pins on F150s, climbing voltage on the CD4Es, to general bad contact issue internal to the sensor on the Taurus vehicles. They all look the same and align the same way. Ford calls out for a special tool to align them and if you don't know already I show you how to align it without the special tool so you can still do the job yourself and do it correctly right in your driveway. Hope this helps.

Changed my range sensor because the navigator would not start and I was constantly jerking around with the gear selector to try to get it to start. The shaft on the transmission that the sensor slides over was extremely rusty on mine and it took lots of force to get the old one off. I had to use sandpaper on the shaft to be able to get the new one on.

Turns out the range sensor wasn't the problem.

This video explains exactly what was wrong with mine.
