radio

Hey guys, I have an 01 escape the radio works only in park and neut and sometimes with the brake pushed. But works fine in any gear if I turn the ignition switch to ACC. sounds like an ignition switch but I dont under stand why it works in park & neut. Is there anyone out there that has had this problem that could save me some time. Thanks

Do a search for "transmission range sensor".

Here are a couple of links from the AF search:

I would look at ground straps to the chassis or engine/transaxle...
Please let us know what you find.

Best regards....
