hey, as topic says my auto 95 falcon futura, 4.0L wont crank in park. move it into neutral and it will start every time
i know there is a switch/sender thing that tells the computer its in park, does this sound like the problem? easy to fix myself? when i go to crank it in park the check engine light ( looks like this ( ! ) ) comes on and the guages go back to 0 (fuel/temp etc) thanks

Park neutral switch could be stuffed,
Or if you have done any adjustments or changes to the shifter, or changed you box the shifter may need to be re-adjusted.

Sounds like that park neutral switch has failed then.
Your local wrecker should have one, not sure how much it'll cost, but any E-series 4sp auto switch should fit nicey.

is it as easy as it looks to replace? or is some hot transmission fluid going to burn my arm off if i try it? isnt it only an electrnic sensor? and advice would be appreciated thanks

Should be a piece of piss, matter of mounting it & plugging it in. Had mine replaced just recently, although the mechanic said something about being careful to correctly re-attach the 3 pin plug, as one pin is for the speedo, which then dictates your gear change. Don't hold me to this, all I know is that I had to take my car back after I had mine fitted, because my speedo wasn't working, and I couldn't get into 2nd gear ...not good when you go to pull into traffic with a 4-tonne Mack truck bearing down on your a**! Anyway, the mechanic chucked the car on a hoist, fiddled around with this 3-pin plug, and all was sweet...

Grab a new Inhibitor Switch and its 2x 8mm bolts on the passenger side of your gear box.
Undo the plugs connected to it, undo the bolts, put the new one on and reconnect it and wala its fixed. Theres no change in speedo, or change in steering, or changing in tyre pressure or change in your coles dollar saver vouchers so ignore any rubbish you hear. Common for the inhibitor switches to screw up, alternatively you can take yours off, unclip it all and clean it out, give it a light sand on the contact with 800 sand paper and reapply electronic grease spray into it, clip it back together and put it back on. |

You heard the man! I wasn't trying to spin him any s**t ...I think my mechanic may have unplugged something whilst diagnosing my NSS problem...
