    2004 Stuck in Park

    Well, I have been doing more driving and so far so good. Here are the 2 photos of the safety switch, aka position sensor :-) SO I added the black marks onto the plastic to help me align the slot in the shaft for installation. You can also see I put a mark on the shaft as well to assist. Once I...

    Sorry for the delay end of the year at work and all the customers want their parts built. So, I took the Expedition out this past weekend driving all over the place Christmas shopping and no issues shifting out of park at any of the stops I made. Going to do some more driving today with...

    Going to look at that when I get some time from work. Probably tomorrow and it is also supposed to be warmer tomorrow too, so a good day to check on all of that. Will watch the videos again and make sure I did things the right way before I get under the car. Stay tuned.

    Well my victory was short lived. Wife drove the Expedition for some errands yesterday with no issues. She got home in the drive way and tried to leave and it would not come out of park again. I walked her though the over-ride over the phone with no issues and she was able to get it out of park...

    So the Expedition now comes out of park with the new Neutral Safety Switch. Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone. Got this installed last night, but work was a pain today and just taking a bit of a break now. Once I was able to align the key ways to the shaft I was able to pilot...

    Chris - yes, I can move the lever with the key in the on position and if I depress the override button. Tried installing the neutral safety switch tonight and was not able to complete it before I lost daylight. I can say the YouTube video sure makes installation look super easy. I am having a...

    Thanks for the suggestion. Neutral safety switch might not be the issue as I removed the lever from the side of the switch and I still could not get the column shift out of part. Cable was still locked in position when I started the car and tried to move it out of park. I did buy one of these...

    Got the override button and can get it out of Park. THANK YOU. Your description was perfect. Not sure why I did not feel that before. Looks like I need the $250 Brake Shift Interlock Actuator Assembly. Will have to figure out how to install. Might be a few days as we are supposed to get 5" of...

    I cannot really see what I am supposed to be pulling / pushing for the override. I have had my body under the dash and just don't see / feel this "button." So I have not been able to move the lever and the brake switch did not help. Thanks for all the help.

    Well, it is not the brake light switch either as I replaced that just now. So what is holding the column shifter from moving? Other vehicles have a shift interlock solenoid. As I mentioned in my first post there are videos of removal and replacement of this on the steering column of a 2003...

    Thanks for your responses. I have no idea where this release button is under there. However, sounds like I need to replace the brake switch. Hopefully, that will solve the issue.

    2004 Stuck in Park

    Good morning. Title says it. Did some searching and found a few threads about this. Car starts and runs. Column gear select. Brake lights work - Can the switch still be bad if I have brake lights? Neutral safety switch??? Pulled lever off and still does not move on the column. Some threads...
