  Q: How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch for the 4R70E/4R75E on Ford E-150?

  A: Service processes on the 4R70E/4R75E Transmission Position Switch/Sensor begin with placing the vehicle on a hoist while maintaining NEUTRAL gear position. Proceed by eliminating the electrical connector of the Transmission Range (TR) sensor and the selector lever cable from the manual control lever. Begin the Transmission Position Switch/Sensor service by first removing the manual control lever nut before extracting the lever from its place. After that detach the TR sensor bolts and TR sensor from the system. Begin installing the TR sensor by mounting its bolts in a loose manner while the manual control lever rests in NEUTRAL position. You should apply the TR Sensor Alignment Gauge to achieve proper TR sensor slot alignment. You should avoid tightening a screw before its counterpart to protect the TR sensor from damage or locking mechanisms. Secure the TR sensor bolts at 9 Nm (80 lb-in) torque value. Secure the manual control lever with a new manual control lever nut which needs tightening to 33 Nm (24 lb-ft). After keeping the manual control lever in NEUTRAL set both the selector lever cable to the manual control lever and the TR sensor electrical connector back into place.
