• Q: How to Service and Repair the Floor Shift Interlock Solenoid on 2007 Ford Taurus?

  A: When working on the floor shift Brake Shift Interlock Actuator you must begin by disabling the SRS. Begin by taking away the center console followed by detaching the ignition/shifter interlock cable from the floor shift at two points: between bracket and shift cam. After removing the LH lower instrument panel trim you must tighten its mounting screws to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs) before reattaching it. You need to remove the steering column support bracket through four electrical connector disconnections and by removing diagnostic electrical connector bolts along with support bracket bolts. The process for steering column installation requires lowering the column before nut removal then tightening it to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs) during reassembly. Users must disconnect both shift interlock electrical connectors followed by removing two bolts to separate the ignition/shifter interlock cable and its actuator assembly from the vehicle. To check correct interlock operation install the component by verifying that pedestrians can only remove the key when the transaxle range selector lever stays in the PARK position and the lever effectively locks when no key exists. The SRS should be repowered after performing an opposite procedure to remove it.
