Ford Superduty & Excursion No Start in Park Fix 

We were hauling a horse and stopped in the rain, truck wouldn’t start back up. It only made a click, watched this video, tightened the torques, and off we went. Thank you for this video!

Thank god for your video. Never ever had a issue with my f350 until today. Did the neutral thing. Started right up. Minus 25 right now in Canada. FML. Thank you man. 💯💯💯💯💯💯

This helped me tremendously! My 02 7.3 started doing this a few months ago and this video diagnosed it perfectly and provide the right fix! The shifter feels so much tighter, thank you!!

Man, I have had trouble shifting into reverse or low gear for a year. Today it wouldn't start in Park. This fixed both problems!!! Thanks!!!

Dude…. Thanks for sharing this. The loose shifter problem has been plaguing us on our 2001 Excursion for quite a while. You saved me a trip to the stealership! Three minute fix!!

Dude, you just saved my life. I replaced my starter thinking that was the problem but to no avail, I was ready to call NAPA and call it a lemon and request a new one, but I looked it up and found this. You are a true life saver.

2006 F350 Dually for two months i put up with random no crank, no start and stalling. Checked fuses, relays, installed new ignition and ignition switch. Still shit after watching your video it works great. Thank you so much

My 99 F250 Super Duty just starting doing this a couple days ago. Thanks for the video, saved me a lot time. Don't have the locktite right now but can get it later. Great video!

WOW ! … Thanks ! Tightened the Bolts and all is OK …. Saved my neck as I need this Truck for Work !

Amazing...I replaced the starter relay because I was convinced that was the issue, still didn’t work, put it in neutral and started right up...came across your video and in 3 min and a little loctite, it fired right up . Thank you for helping this electrical idiot out!

Thanks for posting this. My kids and I came out of the store to a truck that didnt start. Saw you video & fixed the problem in about 10 min!

Thank you for posting this video! I had a no start issue with no crank and after checking the starter fuse, I checked the l-bracket for the shifter lever and sure enough, the two t-30 torx bolts were loose. I tightened them up and it started right up along with the lever feeling way more solid. Thank you!!!

Thanks a ton. Saved me even more undue aggravation diagnosing my Ford Excursion starting issue!!!

Not only are your videos very educational you're also very good to look at eye candy, thank you

I tried this for the first time and what a simple fix....thank u so much kindly...God bless u. 'I got the locktite and what a great and easy fix...the mechanics must hate u...LOL.. You are our savior

This video helped me! Changed battery and starter solenoid before I stumbled on this video! Thanks for saving me more time & money!!

You're the best! This was just what my 2002 Excursion needed. Now I think it will stay in park.

This is the second time one of your videos really saved my butt. A few times in the last couple weeks I couldn't get the truck in park and it actually rolled on me. It happened to me this afternoon and me being lazy didn't do anything about it. I pulled into my driveway and it completely felt like something broke and I couldn't get the truck in park. Looked up your video went underneath and saw both bolts were loose and one on the bottom the head broke off. Before I looked at your video I thought to myself great now I need a tow and I'm going to probably miss some work tomorrow morning. But a quick trip to tractor supply got the right bolt and I'm back on the road. Thanks again man keep up the good work.

03 Excursion.. The loose fasteners were not my problem but you pointed me in the right direction. Thanks!!!!

Bro that neutral solution totally just worked for me

Thanks for the help... It helped fix my truck in minutes...

HALLELUJAH! super easy I love it. Thank YOU. I had a hard time hitting park meaning the truck would ROLL if I didn't pay close attention. Thank you thank you thank you. I live in the mountains.

Man thank you very very much, I had called a couple of places to check it out everybody wanted $70-100 just to check it out, because of your video I was able to do it in less then 10 minutes. Thanks again.

Thank you. I'm going to try this tomorrow. I pulled the starter and had it tested at Auto Zone and it passed. Don't want to get stuck somewhere pulling my horse trailer. Thank you so much!

Wow thanks!! T30 and 6” extension got the job done. I’ve been living with this for 2 years haha

Thanks for the video. Only had my 2000 superduty for a couple weeks now. It has only not started a few times, but now I can't get it not to start in park.

i have been starting in neutral for years and it got so bad park started to slip this fixed it...thank you

Wow thank you so much 😊 happened for first time today after got off work where didn’t crank in park I check my battery voltage then thought maybe the key assembly actuator or whatever’s it called then luckily thought to try in neutral an it started fine and was able to drive home but now I have an idea what to check I’ll know soon

Dude I hope this help me with my 96 F-250 auto I have . Thanks for sharing . Cheers

This was exactly what was happening to the excursion thanks so much!!

Ive been fighting no start for 9 months. $ wasted on starter switch and starter sol. My 2 bolts were loose. Nobody in shops know this chronic item. Thanks! Thanks! Buying shirt is this the best way to support your channel?

Worked for me!!! Thanks for the help brotha!

Wow what an easy fix! I cant tell you how many times I crawled under the steering column and never noticed the 2 screws loose. I had it fixed in 2 minutes. Thanks for such an informative video!!

Great video fixed my problem right away! Thank you.

Very helpful! Just fixed this today. One of my bolts was missing the head. There is an electrical connector to the lower left of the steering column that is held using two of the same torx bolts. Use one of those and replace it later.

Thank you very much for your video. 5 minutes and fixed

Thanks for helping me fix my truck

I have a 1993 Lincoln town car and did this exact fix the screws were loose and only had to take the first panel off it was easy to do . Thank you so much the car shifts great and no more playing to start .i took one at a time and put lock tight and reassemble it big expensive repair Ina garage thanks again ps use a 30 star. On at least a 9 in extension you need room for two hands

My truck wouldn't start this afternoon after I parked somewhere. I checked the fuses and alternator, but then I checked the shifter and it was not lined up with Park. I moved the shifter closer to the P and it finally started.

I’m working on this tight now . If you push your shifter up too it will work like in neutral.

Saved me bro . U r the best

worked exactly as you said thank you!

And also my shift tube brackets were loose along with the two down below. The bushings were fine I just tighten it up and feels like a brand new truck

Thank you so much bro!!!

Awesome and thank you for sharing. I just fixed mine in the parking lot in 30 seconds, oh ok a minute or two because I had to dig in my toolbox to find the star head bit. Very much appreciated. Hope you are making something off the ads on here or you should be up a fund me or paypal link. Worth it.

Thank you so much, I'm checking it out today

My 2001 ford F 350 had same issue. It wouldn't start even in neutral. This fixed it.

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful

Going out to check in the morning ,,, been trying to get this running all day , got a no start no crank , no code ,,, after replacing my turbo yesterday .....

Thanks so much! This fixed my issue.

Worked like a charm on my Ford F350 Super Duty tiny house on wheels. T27 torx instead of the T30. Saved me a mechanics bill and most likely the cost of a new neutral safety switch that doesn't need to be replaced.

Thank you so much!

Saved the day....i was about to take out the starter.

Thank you

Thank you I have a 2003 Ford Excursion took less than five minutes after I watched your video

Great video. I’ve got a 2002 Sport Trac. Had the same issue except won’t start in Neutral or Park. Messed with linkage a few times then, it started. Replaced the neutral safety switch then it was fine until recently and back to the same problem. I haven’t checked these bolts yet but, if the bolts are tight any idea what else it may be? Thanks in advance.

Mine won't start in neutral either. But it acts the same way. I'll keep trying and eventually it finally cranks and starts just fine. Any suggestions?

any tips on cutting an 05 grill to fit an 00? or aligning the 05 front bumper to an 00? seems to be a problem I'm seeing repeatedly.

my bolts are tight but still wont start

Could that also cause issues with the starter not engaging fully because of intermittent connection?

I have a 2006 Ford F-53 V-10 chassis on my Motorhome. The air intake has a yellow dust cover or sock on it. I was recently told that it is a dust cover they put on and should be taken off by the jobber? Mine has been on for years...do i take it off?

have a problem with my ford 2003 excursion DRI veing 65 than lost power 20 mpg people say it was alt but I can't under stand that what do you think no gas peddle power at all had to let it sit than she was driven g again

Great vid

Is there a similar issue with 2006 F150 5.4l 3v Triton? I have same occasional no start in park problem. Sometimes shifting into neutral works, sometimes not. Just have to play around with shift lever or rocking car until it decides to start. I looked under dash, but don't see exactly the same view as your excellent video. Is it time to replace the neutral safety switch?

I got 1999 expedition I can start it first try ride it around. But when I shut it off it won't start just vlick once radio and everything works. What could be the problem

This worked perfectly, now my truck starts just fine.

My power cuts out while driving stalls out and something in neutral will crank and turn on but usually have to pull over and try a lot. New battery gas and case reader pulls no codes still won't turn. Can you help

Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Do you have a video replacing the lower shifter bracket all together?

Thank you men you're the best!!!

mine doesnt start in neutral too, any thoughts?

is in it better to replace the neutral safety switch?

My 2001 Expedition is doing this. Please forgive me real quick, were you turning off the truck right after it started? I wasn't able to hear a running truck.

Will this work on a 1995 f250 7.3 powerstroke? Starts fine in neutral, but when we start in park sounds like it's " caming " but neutral is just fine ? Thanks

I have 07 f1-50 and I have this problem but my shifter is in the center console. Could you help me find the solution?

I fix my problem thank you so much

Does this work for the 2003-2006 expedition

What if it just cranks?

My 2001 for excursion still won't start. It acts like its about to turn over but doesn't.

What if the screws aren't going back in with the light tight applied

Tried this as mine was loose but it wouldn’t start in neutral either. Safety switch?

Thanks!

I have a 1996 Ford Aerostar with 3.0 engine that won't start. No crank, no 12 volts on the signal wire at the fender mount solenoid. My gear selector indicator is broken. I have 12.62 volts on the battery, clean connections. Got a used Solenoid from the salvage yard installed it on the weekend because the other one was kind of weak when I tested it. The clicks were weak and no clicks at all times, I don't have schematics for this vehicle, can you point me in the right direction , thank you for your expertise.

right on man!

Hi how are you, Can you change out the pistons from under the oil pan, on a 4.6l 2 valvle PI Heads V8 on a 2004 F150 New Style. A thread tool the exact size of the journal has siezed to the hole... I have tried everything from Tungsten and Carbide to the Titanium HSS trying not to pull the head.

Thanks

Awesome thanks was driving me nuts lmao

My 2000 E250 seems a great candidate for this but I can't get under there to even see this area much less get a tool in there. Is my van different or am I just too old to twist like a pretzel to get under there?

The small block under the bracket broke on mine, you know what that's called?

BRO THANK U 🎉❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😊😊💯

how do u get to the steering column?

Will this cause a p0707 code?

I have to run the fuel pump 4-8 times and then it will start- gonna trouble shoot this and the shift tube bushings - was short of dropping the tank

I fixed my O2 Ford excursion in about 2 minutes flat so easy

What is the L bracket called
