WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer and 1997 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For "engine not cranking" condition on A/T, determine if condition exists in both Park and Neutral. If condition occurs in one position and not other, manual lever position sensor is probable cause. See TRANSMISSION SERVICING - A/T (4R44E/5R55E)
article in the AUTOMATIC TRANS SERVICE section.
