friar 8 Posted December 31, 2020 Isn’t it just the shift lock not actuating from stop lamp switch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halfpenny 114 Posted December 31, 2020 This is a problem with your shift interlock. Are the brake lights working? If not, then suspect brake light switch or fuse... If yes, then suspect the solenoid or the wiring to it. Check out with a multimeter. The wire can break right at the solenoid. The solenoid comes as part of the shift selector assy - its not cheap!

He told me this after had my one done. But is his repair any good? The DCT Powershifts are a seriously flawed design and did not drive well even from straight off of the showroom floor. Even the experienced guys with all the specialist kit struggle to do a reliable rebuild. I know that in some countries Ford bought the cars back off the customers. It was not until Ford did a redesign in 2016 that they overcame the drivability issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
