On a 1996 T-bird, V8, does anyone know where this switch is located?
i checked my 96 ford service CD and found out that it is called a transmission range sensor: Transmission Range (TR) Sensor:
The transmission range (TR) sensor:
l is transmission-mounted. l permits the engine to start only in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. l activates the back-up lamps in the REVERSE position.
The powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) monitors the voltage across a series of step-down resistors that correspond to the position of the manual control lever (7A256). The powertrain control module uses this information in determining desired gear and electronic pressure control (EPC) pressure. hope this helps, it says that it is located on the transmission....i would have someone in the car with the motor off and the key on so the car can be shifted and i would be under the hood looking for moving parts(or under the car looking on both sides of the transmission.. hope this helps.
here is some more info on the thing you want: Removal
