Dorman - OE Solutions Shift Interlock Solenoid P/N:924-970
Keep the shifter held in Park until the brake pedal is pressed with the Dorman shift interlock solenoid 924-974, a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Ford Explorer and 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer. This transmission shift interlock solenoid is engineered for durability and reliable performance.
The solenoid is part of the brake-shift interlock. It locks the shift lever in Park and releases it when the brake pedal is applied with the ignition on. If a failed solenoid is the reason your shifter won't come out of Park, or the reason it moves out of Park without the brake applied, this unit replaces it.
A stuck or free-moving shifter can also come from a brake light switch, fuse or wiring fault, so diagnose the cause before replacing the solenoid. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
