Re: my taurus Sign In

That's a lot of problems all at once. I can't think of one cause for all that at once.

Questions:

* Did this all happen at the same time?

* Does the engine start and run properly?

Folks are here to assist but this is a strange problem, T

DanD had one of these a few weeks ago. It turned out to be the transmission range switch (gear selector switch).

Yep. The kicker to remember on the TR sensor is if the accessories work in park and go out in drive or reverse. Ford runs a lot of the wiring inside the car through this sensor. Who knows why.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
