Backup switch location

Can someone tell me where backup light switch is located on 2007 V10. Thanks Ray
  • The Ford 4R100 tranny used with the V10 powered F53 chassis has the B/U switch on the transmission, as does the E40D used with the earlier 460 V8.

    On edit: I should mention that the part is called the "Transmission Range Sensor", and also serves as the neutral safety switch along with other functions. It has an eleven pin connector.
  • Most are located on the steering column if an automatic, on the transmission if a manual.
  • Should screw into the transmission. I've replaced 2 before. One on an Isuzu pick up and one on a Toyota Celica. Look for 2 wires coming from a fitting on the side or near the rear of the transmission. When shifting the transmission something in the transmission associated with reverse engages the switch.
