No response on reverse

[M1911A1]

Hi guys, today I started my 04 Ex. after a week, parked in the garage. I put it in reverse but didn't give it any gas pedal, it usually drives back slowly from the garage into the driveway, it didn't move until I press the accelerator then jerked back and afterwards drove perfectly back and forth. Could it be that the brakes were locked, since I powerwashed it before storing in the garage? What do you think?

Well, the car was cold in the garage, the first time it has ever done it... I try again tonight after four hours turned off, and work perfectly. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it. It could be [hopefully] that the brakes locked on it. As I said the first time it ever hesitated. Thanks for your replies.

Check the transmission fluid level. You have to climb under the truck, and remove a plug.

This, or it is possible that the brakes were sticky. I have had that happen before, although on other vehicles.

for brakes to stick, that would of have been so rust buildup in a week....

Solenod pack was a tsb from ford for harsh/ delayed reverse engagement on 2004 and early 2005
