Thank you for sharing your video! I had the exact same issue on my 2005 F150 FX4, ordered the part ($250 on Amazon) and was able to successfully repair. Thanks again dude! 😎👍

So glad I found this video. My son and I were traveling long distance for Thanksgiving and we stopped to eat a couple hours from home. His shifter actuator got stuck in the parking lot. Luckily we found this and was able to bypass the actuator to continue our trip. Thanks for this.

There might be a way to open the switch and look at the parts inside. Might be a way to fix. Or just leave it off but plugged in

You're right you really technically don't need the actuator, BUT. You're cruise control won't work without the actuator and the actuator has to be a working good one in order for cruise control to work. Otherwise there is a safety feature that will disable cruise control if the actuator has gone bad, because cruise control can't recognize what gear you're in. It uses the actuator. Anyways, up to whoever whether they want to spend the $300 bucks or not. It's also a bit safer to have a working actuator but not necessary. I've been driving my truck around for 5 years now without one lol. But RIP cruise control which kind of sucks ain't going to lie.

@JuicedMoose 11 ай бұрын

I did not know that. Can you leave it plugged in but just laying in there? That way you have the light the OD switch and possibly the curise control.

I drilled a hole in my center console; use an allen wrench to depress the white safety release tab to put into gear. Gear selection light does not work, but cruise control does

@JuicedMoose 4 ай бұрын

Drilling a hole to press the white button seems pretty damn extreme. I would have left the plastic lose and used both hands. I did it for a year. Drilling a hole to push the button also should not affect lights or anything. I don't understand. Keep in mind there are other videos of taking the switch apart and fixing it. I have a video of the repair and a possible idea of leaving it unattached.

$0 Permanent Fix: Don't buy a new lockout assembly. Just cut off the two white tabs seen at 8:11 and reassemble. This will allow one to move the shifter without pressing the brake pedal. The truck otherwise operates normally. I like this better than simply letting the unit hang loose.

Do you mean the 2 White tabs on the right of the part at the 8:11 mark?

@robjulie9 7 ай бұрын

Does your cruise control still work with actuator hanging loose? I have opposite issues with my 2004. The gear shift moves without pushing brake and CC no longer works.

@JuicedMoose 7 ай бұрын

I paid the 250 bucks or whatever the part cost at Oriley's and fixed it. Some people have taken them apart and soldered the broken wires. If you left it hanging it would shift out of park, but I don't see what this has to do with CC to be honest. This switch is just a safety thing. You have to have foot on brake to move the shifter. If it's just hanging your OD cut off and your lights should all still work. But I'm not 100% sure. Most people with a truck this old don't want to spend 250 bucks for the switch. If your gear shifter moves without the brake pressed your switch might be stuck in the unlock position. Nere seen this. The CC might be something else entirely.

What if I do here the sound and it’s still not working even when I push the white button

@JuicedMoose Жыл бұрын

check and make sure you have brake lights. This switch runs off that. No brake lights then the brake light switch is bad. If the brakes work think you can take the switch off the shifter, leave it hanging but plugged in for light and over drive. This will end the lock out for good.

hold brake and push button with left hand shift with right hand to get it to move. I have a video on the repair or hack. The comments on that video has other ideas as well.

sorry this is the repair video. The other video is how to get it to move from park. You have to push the button and move shifter at same time.

did you check to make sure that you hadn't cooked a fuse? I wonder also if you had a short could it cause your actuator to fail early

Not a good idea. If you have kids and they like to play with the shifter and your park this this it’s going to roll away

@JuicedMoose 25 күн бұрын

I think back to my youth. We loved to roll my aunts 76 bug down the driveway. We did same in my mons old dodge. My first car was a stick. My jeep is a stick and I can keep my 2 year old and my 10 year old out of it. It's some kind of fort for them and their friends. I don't know how but they've never pushed clutch or knock it out of gear. 60s n 70s cars well 75 up did do locks I think. I think your over thinking things. I'm from 80s we rode in the bed we didn't wear helmets and today we baby kids too much. If my jeep ends up in the street I'll let ya know.

IT IS a SAFETY SWITCH. If someone has a child in the vehicle... SMH I would blame you for recommending not to replace it. It is there for a reason, come on.

@JuicedMoose 6 ай бұрын

Don't post stupid shit on my feed. If you watched it, you see I did spend the 250 to replace it. These trucks are old asf and most don't want to spend that, so I gave options. Get out the fuck out with your nonsense post, you don't need it if you don't want to spend 300 bucks, because thats the current price. Stupid keyboard warriors I swear.
