• Q: How to Service and Repair Automatic Transmission Shift Levers for the Floor Shift on 2007 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The first step for repairing the floor shift automatic transmission shift levers requires checking safety conditions by draining back up power that would trigger air bags, then disconnecting the battery ground cable, which must wait for one minute while removing auxiliary batteries if present. Users need to remove the instrument panel finish panel before disconnecting the electrical connector. Prior to working on the floor shift automatic transmission shift levers, start by eliminating back up power while avoiding air bag deployment through battery ground disconnect followed by a minimum one-minute wait. First, remove the two shift handle retaining screws before pulling out the shift handle from its mount. To access the bulb, you must elevate the indicator bezel. After bulb extraction, proceed with releasing the interlock cable housing clip and separating the interlock cable. Cut the connection between the automatic transmission shift lever cable at the automatic transmission shift lever assembly and extract the automatic transmission shift lever cable housing clip from its slot. Pull out the electrical connector pushpin retainer before you detach its electrical connection. The vacuum harness needs to be removed from the parking brake release component. After you remove the four retaining nuts which secure the automatic transmission shift lever to the floor, you can take out the lever and then install it afterward by applying torque of 11 Nm (8 lb-ft). Follow these steps to install the automatic transmission shift lever cable by observing the locking tabs while placing the cable end on the ball stud, then push the cable into the bracket to click and check the secure connection by cable pull. The installation procedure ends by performing the opposite steps of removal.
