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

Re: my taurus Sign In
DanD had one of these a few weeks ago. It turned out to be the transmission range switch (gear selector switch).

Re: my taurus Sign In
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
