Why does my 1995 Ford f 150 turn off when put in reverse?
I have a 1995 Ford F-150 xlt 4.9l straight 6 engine. Ever since I bought this truck it would shut off when put in reverse. It wouldn't shake or anything it would just simply shut off. I could easily start it again once put in park. Then throwing it into reverse wasn't an issue now it's becoming an issue because the whole engine refuses to start at random times when this happens. This problem continues to accur even with a new battery. When the truck turns off after throwing it in reverse a quick jump can start it up right away. Can someone please help me figure out what is causing this?
Bet there's some connection to the back-up lights… Take the back-up light bulbs out & see if that changes anything…
Rick idea… Or the reverse light switch has a dead short.
I would ask when the last complete tune-up was done?
good possibility that the idle is too low + other components are worn out… If the idle is too low, then placing the trans in gear can cause the engine to stall… And hopefully you are not "throwing" the gear selector into reverse or any gear!
- My Ford Transit headlights turn on in off position and turn off in the on position? I'm a new driver, just passed my test. My van has some issue with the lights: namely, the lights turn off in the on position when the dash lights come on, and turn on when they are supposed to be off. This means that I'm driving at night without dash lights as I need to have the lights switched off in order for my headlights to be on. Might this be an electrical issue? Would anybody be able to give me advice and possibly know how much this costs to repair?
