WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transaxle selector lever linkage consists of:
- a selector lever cable that connects the transaxle manual control lever to the selector lever assembly.
- a BSIA that is integral to the selector lever assembly.
- a SelectShift ™ switch that allows the driver to have control over transmission shifting by manually selecting which gear to operate in.
The selector lever assembly:
- locks the transaxle selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
- requires the transaxle selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
