Yes, it has a solenoid to control tc lockup. Just like the GM's, when it fails in the ON position, it acts like a manual-shift tranny when one tries to stop w/o depressing the clutch--it stalls in forward or reverse. HTH, s
so it is a normaly closed switch..like the old 400 kickdown sol..so i should be able to take it out and clean it.
i need a web site that i can get diagrams and pictures for a 1995 ford taurus
It closes or comes on in higher gears when the pcm wants lockup. You might check brake light switch for pcm first. If the solenoid is acting up replace it. A good repair manual or.
