Neutral Safety Switch for a 45RFE?

Hello,

Being a 2003 model your vehicle would be equipped with the 5 speed 545RFE transmission.

Being a 4.7 the transmission neutral position/reverse sensor is located externally on the left rear of the transmission, see image 2 below.

Suggest to first check that fuse F26(15A) in junction block, dashboard, is not blown
See diagram below, image 3.

If in order next disconnect the 6-pin connector at the neutral switch.
Check that pin 1, brown/green wire, has 12V when ignition is on.
You can use a voltmeter or a test light.

If 12V is given next connect a jumper wire from pin 1 to pin 6, violet/black wire
With ignition on the reverse lights should light up.

Part number for the switch should be 56045489AC(2wd) or 56045489AA(4wd)
