Dorman - OE Solutions Shift Interlock Solenoid P/N:924-979
Replace a worn or failed shift lock with the Dorman shift interlock solenoid, part number 924-973, a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2005-2011 Lincoln Town Car and 2005-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis. This transmission shift interlock solenoid is the electrically operated lock that holds the gear selector in Park until the brake pedal is pressed. Dorman designed it to install and operate like the original solenoid on the listed applications.
Signs this solenoid may need replacing include a shifter that stays locked in Park even with the brake pedal pressed, or one that moves out of Park without the brake applied. A brake light switch, fuse or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the solenoid. If a failed interlock solenoid is the cause, this unit replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
