    Transmission Range Sensor

    After much research, it appears that the earliest made 1997's were wired the same as the 1996's and used the same 8 flat pin/oval connector, square transmission range sensor. The 1997's made later use the 11 round pin/rectangular connector, rectangular transmission range sensor. No way to tell...

    Transmission Range Sensor

    I just purchased a new transmission range sensor (neutral safety switch) for my 1997 Ford Powerstroke Diesel. The one I received has a rectangular receiver for a connector. There are two banks of pins, one of 6 and one of 5. I removed the transmission range sensor from my truck. It has a...

    Drama. High Drama. So basically you are looking for a way to get her to quit penalizing your wife for something you said to her. Basic power play on her part. It appears that you had a moment which proved you are human with human emotions and she did also. The difference is the followup using...

    1997 Powerstroke Glow Plug Low Current while Driving

    Still researching this, but I'm thinking it is either 1. Battery going bad or 2. Transmission Range Sensor I think the glow plug codes are from the drop in voltage once the transmission drops out and the engine goes into neutral. Next step is to check the batteries than going to buy the $30...

    Been there. - Maybe your 'good friend' was really just a 'good acquaintance' - Maybe your bud is stuck in a high school mindset of drama and punishment while you've continued to grow beyond that - Maybe they are in a home situation that leaves them insecure and powerless and this is the only way...

    1997 Powerstroke Glow Plug Low Current while Driving

    This has now happened 4 weeks in a row. Truck starts just fine. Everything sounds good. No idiot lights. After driving my dually between 50 to 70 miles on a 85 mile trip, the rpms rev high, power drops off and I limp over to the side of the road with the engine running but little momentum. Put...

    1997 Ford Diesel Dually eratic door lock

    When it acts up, the rear door will not open. I have tried all the buttons on all the doors including the locked one and nothing opens it until i push lock/unlock several times. It can be from the dongle or from the inside buttons, but it will take 9 or 10 times of lock/unlock. Unless it is...

    1997 Ford Diesel Dually eratic door lock

    Okay. Okay. So I am openly flaunting the 1999 to current restriction on this forum... but I need a few ideas. The passenger rear door (yes it is a four door) does not always unlock when I press the unlock button. It always locks correctly. But maybe 1 time out of 5 it will not unlock. I...
