2008 Lincoln Town Car Shift Interlock Solenoid Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Safely Service and Repair the Front Shift Interlock Solenoid on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The Brake Shift Interlock Actuator service or repair process needs to start with a back up power supply depletion before disconnecting the battery ground cable for at least one minute and removing any additional power supplies from the vehicle because failure to follow these steps could lead to fatal air bag activation caused by accidental deployment. First remove the SRS steering column Clock Spring then detach its mounting bracket bolts from the column and always tighten them to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) when reinstalling. The first step involves releasing the actuator clip followed by lowering the actuator down. Finally remove the park position switch and associated actuator from its respective cavity. The stage of installation requires following the same order as the removal process in reverse until completion.
