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

  A: The first step to fix the brake shift interlock actuator that controls floor shift is removing the center console. Before continuing the repair you have to disconnect the ignition/shifter interlock cable from two points on the floor shift. Remove the left-hand lower instrument panel trim along with disconnecting four electrical connectors. The first step involves removing the Steering Column support bracket when you detach both diagnostic electrical connector bolts and steering column support bracket bolts. The column descends when you take off the nuts before disconnecting the interlock electrical connector. The ignition/shifter interlock cable with actuator assembly requires removal after you remove its bolts. The installation process requires testing the interlock functions to verify that the key only becomes removable when the transaxle range selector sits in PARK and the lever remains locked in PARK after key removal. The reverse steps of removal will guide the reinstallation process.
