Brilliant, I thought my transmission blew up! You are an absolute angel, bless you brother.
Thank You Bud ! I cannot even afford to have somebody do it for me . Not poor but raising my grandsons. Money is uber tight.. Your video is a blessing in my life......
So glad to help. Hopefully you get this fixed and get up and running again. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I just had a large dr pepper get dumped into my gear shift in the last 2 weeks and now my gear shift is sticking and not wanting to shift. Thank you so much, this makes so much sense.

Thanks for the video! I just completed this on my 2010 Ford Explorer with the part you linked. Took me about 30 mins . Takes so long cause of all the screws

There is a little access tab in the bottom of the front cup holder that you can pry open with a screwdriver and press the actuator down. Remove the black cup holder insert to access it. This at least lets you move the vehicle.
Good info Eric, thx
Thank you. That's what I came here for.
Thank you! I just did this in about an hour, all thanks to your video!

Thanks man you are a life saver I have a 2005 Ford explore and it worked on mines as well
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
This was SOOO helpful....
I had this problem multiple times. I replaced the actuator and slide piece and still kept having the same problem. Would have to turn the car off, remove key, restart it a few times before it would let the shifter move.
Think to replace that circuit board below.

Howd it go??
Can you give me at name off the part
Thank you very much for this video. I am currently having this issue and thought it was due to some problem with transmission. My parking brake does have worn out and I was parking the truck just with the shifter in P. HOwever many times the vehicle rolls a little after this and I thought this was causing the lever to get stuck. Now will check this and will post my findings here. hope I will havesome good news to share.
Always glad to help. I have found that this particular vehicle just hates having pressure against the transmission when in park. We parked on a hill once, not too steep, without the parking brake on and almost couldn't get it out of park. We had to rock the vehicle to relieve the pressure. So it sounds like it is not this switch for you, but the fact that this Explorer doesn't like pressure on the Park. So I would advise you to get that parking brake fixed and avoid parking on any hills in the meantime. So glad to help! Thank you for watching.

I have a Ford explorer 2006 v6 it turns on and everything but once I put it on gear it turn of why do you think?
Great job. I wish I would have watched this before I watched the other video on doing it without removing the entire console as I broke the little black connector next to the white one that is facing towards the front of the Explorer. So pissed lol.
Man, I feel you.
Worked! Thanks for posting!

A different issue with a very similar symptom on my 2005 dodge magnum where the stupid pink plastic piece in the shifter broke because it should have been metal in the first place. Thankfully Doorman makes a metal replacement part. For your issue would conformal coating the replacement part keep this from reoccurring ?
Well, there is a hole in the cup holder where the liquid gets through, so I just duct taped it. Thanks for watching and don't forget to stop by our website for many more helpful videos. www.greatwhiteninja.com
Mine broke last week -- will be working on it today (and starter, too -- arrgghhh) -- thanks for the video! Nice job!
Good luck!
My problem is I have to move the shifter to the next setting down, in order to be in the right gear. (Example: moving the shift out of "Park" works fine but to get it in "Reverse", I have to set it in "Neutral". Is this also a circumstance that would require the install of the Shift Interlock Module ?? I did indeed have some water leak down through the cup holder area.
Great video! Thanks for the help!!

Have a question hope someone can help my truck did the same thing but when it got unloose now it won't go into gear the shifter moves but won't go in gear what will I need
Saved me a huge headache… my mechanics both wanted to change the whole damn shifter🤦🏾♂️. $25 I did it myself 😂
Now that's what I am talking about!
thanks i have overdrive switch wont engage, i think that circuit board controls that too - needed to know the location...yours was the only vid i could find.
Good luck. Hopefully you get it working soon.
@@AroundTheHome1 yep just dirty contacts - sprayed contact cleaner, reconnected and all good.
Yep- nailed it. Saved $250-300 thank you!

Thanks so much for this video! i was able to bypass the module and get it back into gear. now i wont have to call a tow truck which saves me some money. the thing is, after getting it back into gear its shifting into gear normally again!? therefore im going to "drive", not have it towed to my local mechanic so he can diagnose whether its actually the module or the little black motor/switch thingy. i believe i could probably do the job myself but it does look kind of tedious so thats why im taking it my local mechanic to do it. at any rate thanks again for the video ! Thumbs up! 👍
So glad to help. That's good that you did not need a tow. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
Same thing happened to me where I was stuck. Thanks for showing me how to bypass it, and that it was searchable. My 2006 XLT will be driven to my mechanic to help fix the broken Male end on the chip.

انت مرحب بك
Nice attention to detail !
I try 😎👍
Can you just move the solenoid back and lock it out forever? Since the interlock is a nice thing to have but can be done without it seems like the simplest thing to do.
Even though I think this is one of the few safety features that are actually a good idea, yes you could just pull back the lock so it can never engage. Thank you for watching . Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
How long can I drive it like this? My broke yesterday and I was able to fix it ,but can't take it to the mechanic until this weekend because of work,but I'm afraid to drive it around.
I don't really have enough info here. You said it was broke and you fixed it, but you can't take it to the mechanic yet. If the solenoid will not disengage, but you have opened it up so that you can manually release it so that you can move the shifter then you can drive it around for as long as you don't mind manually releasing it.
Appreciate the video
No problem. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I got the part but it got.... very warm and I'm suspect of it (also didn't work so I'm getting the solenoid itself). Happen to have a Ford part number?
Hello and thanks for watching. I do not have an actual Ford Part number on this and I honestly doubt that Ford still makes this part. The part that I have listed is the most common one carried by the parts stores. I'm sorry to hear that it is not working for you. It, can of course be defective. Though you are right. It may also be the solenoid. Good luck with your project and sorry I couldn't help more.
TY FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!🎉
mines starting to act up, sometimes it doesn't work but it seems like if i press the break a few times then it works.
Same thing with mine sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t
Same here bro. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
Me too. It's finicky when its cold in the morning.
Fixed mine and he's right, don't see any way of doing this without removing the console. Taking the console out was no big deal, took about 20 min. Once the console is out, no problem.
You did good with that center console. Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I love the video but I cant get my floor console off to get to the module. I unscrewed ALL the screws and the console moves but HOW in the world did you get the floor console removed after you took all the screws out. Is there other connectors that I need to unplug to get it out?
This was a couple of years ago so I don't completely remember. Also it is really hard to try and shoot the video when you yourself don't know what you are doing just yet. I talk about the additional bolts @ 5:20 in the video. Then there are the side panels @ 5:40 that have to come loose. I would double check all these things. It is easy to miss just one that is keeping it from moving. Then I lifted up and back to pull it out from the back of the vehicle. I hope that helps.
I know this video was posted a few years ago but it just helped me fix my truck. But what's the name of the part that I need to replace so that I don't have to put it in reverse by hand..

Will this also cause a no crank so start
Similar to a neutral safety switch.
To my knowledge this just locks the shifter in place. It did not stop the motor from starting and running.
What do I do if it’s not this part but the actual pin itself from the shifter came out?
Can you be more specific on which pin?
Parking on an incline or Hill can also cause your Explorer to be stuck in park if you don't park with the emergency brake on. This causes the transmission to hold the vehicle in place which is not good for it. First thing to check is am I parking on a hill or incline? Without the emergency brake off?
Oh, you are very right on that. The models of Explorers were terrible about that. In fact, I made this video mostly because of that. th-cam.com/video/VkOmpdOUo5k/w-d-xo.html
For mine, I pushed in the emergency brake and released it then moved fine. Hope that helps someone out. I was almost stranded in the walmart parking lot lol
THX Sam I will try it in the future.
Thank You!
Didnt work for me
I had temporarily parked in a tow zone to drop something off on my way to work, and it would not shift!I tried everything to unstick it until finally I just yanked the damn thing into reverse and I was able to get to work.i have to yank it from park every time now but in an emergency.... screw it! Not something I wanted to do,and as soon as I get the sensor I'm going to fix it........hopefully.
My problem is I can shift but stil in park like won’t move some times is that relative to this?
If you can move the shifter then it is not relative to this. Wait, but is it sometimes you can't get it out of park but other times just fine? I have found this vehicle and it's transmission to be very sensitive to having pressure on it. Meaning, you can't park on an incline and get it out of park. If you park on an incline you need to use the parking break. And most people don't realize the proper way to use a parking break. You should come to a stop, and put the vehicle in neutral. Then apply the parking break and ease off the main brake to make sure the parking break is set and the vehicle is not moving. Then put it in park. This way the parking break is actually holding the weight of the vehicle, not a back up incase the transmission slips and the vehicle wants to roll. And by doing this there is no weight put on the transmission. Most vehicles are not that sensitive to parking on an incline, but I have found that this one really is. I hope that helps you out.
Would the solenoid being bad pop the fuse?
I think it definitely could.
I have the same problem. But why not wrap the switch in plastic as you put it back?
You can permanently disable the switch if you wish. I show you what is happening here, how to temporarily keep it working and how to replace it so the vehicle is back stock. Also, it is actually a safety system that I think is good. I don't believe in all safety systems, but keeping children from engaging the transmission is something I think is worthwhile.

@@AroundTheHome1, please tell me the exact name of the part to be replaced. I have the same problem. I couldn’t see it in your video description as I am using my phone.
so my 08 lets me depress the button but i can’t pull it back without pulling super hard and it only happens when on upward hills
Yes, that is a different problem. Some vehicles transmissions are sensitive about being parked on with pressure. This video will help fix that for you. th-cam.com/video/VkOmpdOUo5k/w-d-xo.html
in my car a trick i learned was to hit unlock/ lock about 10 times on the key FOB and that usually works, not sure why. I too was afraid of how much a shop would cost to fix it
Thanks so much for this video it helped me fix my wife's car and yes she spilled coffee in the shifter lol

What’s the exact name of the switch board to be replaced? I have the same problem and need it fixed ASAP.
Fwiw there's a hole in the front cup holder you can use and avoid taking anything apart
Thank, this is very helpful. Can you tell me the part number I am about to get one from Amazon. Thank you again 😊

Put plastic bag over part for prevention?
I put a small piece of duct tape over the hole in the cup holder for prevention. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
What’s the name of the part? And where can I buy it?
I have an Amazon link in the video description.
Why not release the name of the part right here, easier and faster to find out....thanks on advance and blessings for you.
I actually changed it out without pulling the side off, I snaked it out from the top with pliers
That's good. Not an easy feat. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I turn the key over to auxiliary but I do not start the car at this point. So with the automobile in auxiliary I shift the gear shifter into neutral, leave it in neutral and go ahead and start the automobile. They I shift it into Drive or reverse, whichever direction you want to go in. This way the shifter doesn't lock up.
Wait, still trying to understand here. Are you trying to shift out of park before you start the engine?
2010 Explorer wont shift out of park. Tried the bypass and still shifter won't move down out of park. Assuming it's a shifter assembly or transmission problem
Sorry to hear that.
What is the name of the chip cuz my truck got stuck on a hill && the gear shift was stuck in park..... my husband thought it had to do with the transmission
My has been not shifting out of park. So i turn the key onto just where your vehicles readout come on. Do not turn vehicles motor on. Then i shit it into neutral and start the vehicle and the shift into gear.
I'm not fully understanding your description.
U do not have to do all that u can bypass it right under the cup holder
BEFORE YOU DO THIS OR ORDER THIS PART, make sure that your brake lights are still working. If they are not working, then your problem could be related to the brake light switch. Replacing the brake light switch may also fix THIS problem.
What's the part called
I have an Amazon Link for it in the video description.
I can’t find the link 😌
Oh wait , I found it 😊
@@bartvdw9632 where did you find it? I cannot find it.
Thanks for great video . Yes on Ass whooping !
YES! So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
It didnt work, any other suggestion?
What is the problem that you are having, specifically?
What if it comes out of park but it's not reading
I don't understand your question.
This module has now crapped out 4 times in 15 years. First 2 times, i had a mechanic do it at about $450 a pop. 3rd one, i did myself for a $30 part. Here we go again. Ford should do a recall on this bullshit.
Are you sure that something didn't spill down the cupholder? I have had this vehicle for 16 years and it only happened once after a spill in the cupholder.
Are you boom From clash royale?
Yes Pikmin, you found me. I'm sure that my videos here really won't interest you much, well they may, here is a very popular PS4 video of mine. th-cam.com/video/8gi-1hBfrPc/w-d-xo.html
"..everything is sticky..." - Tells me that a beverage was spilled over this area in the past and might be the root cause of the issue at hand.
Possibly 😉
You kept calling it the part you never said what the name of the part is

Would be great if we could see what u r doing🤷🏻♂️
I see a lucky penny.
What a pain in the Ass. How many lock outs do you need. You have to push the button first to move the shifter. Why do you have to have another lock. I guess people are too stupid to put their foot on the brake. What is next your seat Belt will have to be buckled. And then if your tire pressure is not right it wont work?
We replaced it about 6 months ago and it worked great until this morning. 😔
Sorry to hear that. Hate that it failed.
you should see how long it takes to put on some headlight bulbs in a challenger lol sht is ridiculous
I have heard some stories. This is why technicians hate engineers.
