2003 Ford Expedition Shift Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the floor shift cable and bracket on 2003 Ford Expedition?

  A: Service of the floor shift shift cable and bracket requires first lifting the Prndl bezel from the floor then disconnecting its wire harness connector. You start by detaching the Tcs wire harness after you remove the screw from the handle bezel and Prndl bezel sliding down. Starting with the handle and bezel removal you should proceed to remove the window regulator control panel before taking out the screws and console finish panel. The next step involves taking out the left side console access panel to disconnect the transmission shift cable from its connection with the transmission shift lever arm. Using a console access panel you should remove the floor shift mechanism's transmission shift cable retaining clip before pushing the rubber grommet and transmission shift cable through the floor panel. Shutting off the air suspension electrical power through the Rh kick panel switch becomes essential before vehicle hoisting or jacking or towing operations to avoid sudden air spring inflation or deflation. Position the vehicle on a hoist when the shifter lever points to Neutral then disassemble the transmission shift cable from the automatic transmission by unfastening it from the manual control lever while pressing the lock tabs to separate it from the transmission shift cable bracket. Finish the transmission shift cable removal procedure by extracting its bracket and the securing bolts. The installation process demands activating the air suspension system using its related switch followed by executing the reverse sequence for removal while making correct shift cable adjustments.
