Ford Expedition only starts in neutral?
Does anyone know what the problem is my 1998 expedition only starts in neutral and it is difficult to put in park
Check for a bad park/neutral switch. Check the linkage.
If I shift to Neutral, it starts right up. Has anyone else had a similar problem or have any advice on what to test? Truck is a '97 F250 LD with the 5.4. Thanks! Take a look at your tranny linkage and see if it is fully engauged in park. Make sure you chock the wheels just incase its not in park.
Apparently, your gear shift linkage is out of adjustment. If you're not smart enough to fix it on your own, find someone who IS smart enough, and ask them to fix it.
The lockout switch has gone out of adjustment or faulty. If it starts in neutral, just do it that way.
It may be that the neutral safety switch/range switch is out of adjustment or bad.
You also should disconnect the shift cable and see if the shifter works freely from Park to the lowest gear.
Once you figure out why it's hard to put the shift lever in Park the starter may work right in Park.
Neutral safety switch is bad and gear shifter needs to be adjusted. It happen to my 2006 Expedition, not to mention every other problem. Lol
Your linkage may be out of adjustment but remember what FORD stands for.

- What would cause my 2004 Ford E350 5.4L 8cyl to have 2,000 rpm at idle and in neutral? The van has 113,000 miles. Plugs changed at 100,000 miles. When started the rpms are at 2,000. Occasionally they will drop 100-200 rpm for 1-2 seconds then right back to 2,000 rpm. While driving there's no problem as long as the van is in drive. Once in a great while after driving around for a while it will be normal rpm when I put it in park. But usually works its way back to 2,000 rpm. Should I try to clean the throttle body or change the tps sensor? Any help will be much appreciated.
- My 2000 Ford Taurus won't shift from neutral to reverse or neutral to park? Its curently in neutral but the steering colum shifter will go down to drive or drive 2 and will go back to neutral, but then it stops so I can't back up or park the car.since it doesn't go into park, I can't even take the keys out of the ignition. Any ideas?
- One car starts with clutch only, the other doesn't? My dad's car is a Ford Mondeo mk3 2.0 Tddi Diesel. In this car it's quite easy to take off with relasing the clutch only. My car is a Skoda Fabia 1.8 Petrol it's impossible to take off like that. I have to accelerate to at least 2500 rpm. Why is this?
- 2007 Ford Fusion stuck in park or neutral? The car will start and I can remove the key. The shifter will shift into every gear but it doesn't engage at all. Just revs up. When I place it back into park it clicks loudly. It rolls in park and every other gear. When it is in drive and I Rev it the rom and mph gauge Rev up. Have no idea what it is.
