How to service and repair the Neutral Safety Switch on the 4R70E/4R75E on Ford F-150?

The service and repair of 4R70E/4R75E transmission position switch/sensor starts by placing the vehicle at neutral position on a hoist. The end of the selector lever cable needs disconnection without applying any force between the manual control lever and selector lever cable bracket to avoid causing damage. Begin the service procedures by first disconnecting the transmission range (TR) electrical connector. The manual control lever outer nut requires immediate disposal because it cannot meet torque specifications and the user should remove the manual control lever afterward. First remove the bolts from the TR sensor followed by removal of the sensor device itself. Install the TR sensor while maintaining loose fastening of its bolts while keeping the manual control lever in neutral position. The installation process should involve the usage of a TR sensor alignment gauge to achieve a secure fit of TR sensor slots. Tighten each TR sensor bolt in an alternate pattern reaching 9 Nm (80 lb-in) to prevent component malfunction. You should reinstall the manual control lever after placing its new outer nut and tightening it to reach 33 Nm (24 lb-ft). Connect the TR sensor connector followed by attaching the selector lever cable end into position on the manual control lever ball stud by applying backward force to the selector lever cable end. Install the selector lever cable end by placing it onto the manual control lever when the lever points to (D).
