Re: 2000 Windstar Won't Start from Time to Time

I located the sensor. It seems very easy to reach if I remove the airflow box.

I ordered the transmission range sensor from Pep Boys (They still call it neutral safety switch) and will pick up it tomorrow morning. Hopefully, by tomorrow afternoon, I will be confident to drive my Windstar again.

You do NOT need that "special tool"; just line it up the same way as the one you remove. Also, set e-brake and put shifter in neutral before beginning as the replacements come in neutral position.

If you want to test your existing one, test resistance on pins #2, #3, #4, #5,and #6. They should all be less than 5 ohms. (If looking at the sensor with the lock tab connector on top, pin #1 is top right, #2 is one to the left of that, and all the way to the end which is pin #6.)
