• Q: How to Service and Repair the Column Automatic Transmission Shifter on 2002 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: Start column shifter servicing and repair processes by ensuring immediate safety through back up power supply deplenishment to negate air bag deployment risks then disconnecting the battery ground cable followed by a one-minute wait and additional battery supply and power disconnect procedures when available. The service and repair of the column shift begins with unfastening the lower steering column opening finish panel screw while relocating the parking brake release handle. After that, remove the panel screw and pull outward to free its retaining clips. The repair process starts by removing the five screws from the lower steering column opening finish panel reinforcement and following this with the instrument panel reinforcement brace's four screws removal. You should disconnect and loosen the selector lever indicator cable by taking off its screw. After rotating the ignition switch lock cylinder to RUN position you can remove it by pressing the lock cylinder release pin followed by pulling it out. Four screws must be taken out from the steering column shroud before the steering column can be lowered by removing its four nuts. When performing the replacement start by taking off the upper steering column shroud and breaking the transmission control switch (TCS) harness connector free. The TCS harness needs to be disconnected from its locators while the gearshift lever cover needs to be divided from the steering column. Conducting a proper disposal of the old gearshift lever pin while removing the gearshift lever remains essential to the process. The completion of the installation requires following the steps in reverse order of removal.
