    Trans Range Sen vs.O/D switch not working

    After looking at Glacier's valve body diary...which was impressive...I think its safe to say that the TRS replacement wouldn't effect the overdrive causing it not to work.I didn't see any fuse location for the O/D in the owners manual. Its been over 25 years since I got paid to fix cars and...

    Ouch is right....they put R&R and diagnose as $200.But when I spoke with the Ford mechanic he said the TRS goes out often so after looking at this form it sounded like it was the problem.I guess next is to start looking into why the audio panel blanks out intermittently.I rember reading about a...
