2005 Mercury Grand Marquis Automatic Transmission Shift Levers Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair Automatic Transmission Shift Levers on the Floor on 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: The first step before fixing the floor shifter requires you to lower back up power to stop accidental air bags from deploying. Then disconnect the ground cable from the battery and keep waiting for one minute while disconnecting auxiliary batteries and power supplies if your vehicle has additional power sources. Service of the automatic transmission shift levers requires starting by removing the instrument panel finish panel followed by the electrical connector disconnect. The procedure starts with lifting the console finish panel before removing it to proceed with disconnecting the TCS harness by pushing the shift handle bezel downward. The removal process starts with detaching two screws from the shift handle followed by shifting it out of its position. The bezel indicates the bulb's removal period while separate steps involve untapping the interlock cable housing clip before disconnection of the interlock cable. You must disconnect the shift cable from the shifter assembly as well as release the shift cable housing clip. Unfasten the electrical connector push pin retainer before unhooking the electrical connector. As a part of the install process disconnect the vacuum harness that operates the parking brake release mechanism. You must take out the shifter by first removing all four nuts which fasten the shifter mechanism to the vehicle floor. Installation of the new shifter requires you to follow the opposite sequence of removal steps.
