So far 5088 code is gone and the White Witch isn't getting burned at the stake (yet) by the wife....[emoji28][emoji15]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...aec6a867cf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d99d9f3450.jpg

Where'd you source this switch from? It looks like I'm in the same position here in Kuwait.

You guessed correctly, but 5' tall women who can climb on a countertop are a shitload scarier....[emoji15]

Countertop jumpers! Try sleeping with a third degree black belt that placed second internationally who twitches at night.



:wow:

My good friend got "karate chopped" by his now wife when she woke from alarm clock and swung her arm to snooze. Don't be between wife and snooze button!

I caught a knee - just once - in the "gearcase". That's all it took.:bawling:

I took apart on in the junkyard as here they screw you into the ground on parts. i.e. transmission solenoids are only sold with a new valve body @1300 USD

Not sure about other readers but my Foxwell NT-510 shows L1-L4 in description meaning the problem is in the mechatronic gearshift lever, but if no L1-L4 showing it's the magnetic switch in the transmission valve body.

Uhmm, no way I am scared enough being married to a chef that would probably cut up the ginsu chef at Benihana's just to make a point [emoji15][emoji28][emoji879]

Maybe I have the sequence of events wrong on your 5088 error code, but I thought you replaced the gearshift to no avail, then did this switch as a final attempt, which fixed the issue. Do you still think the gearshift was a problem for you?

Yes my gearshift was wonky and the 2nd one had a bad interlock cable, but after fixing that problem I found my error switch to 5088 only making me change the magnetic switch.

I should have written that better (sorry) but I still think that the mechatronic gearshift should be checked out especially since I can't say which other readers will give the differing details.

Good advice, I'm sure. I recently discovered there's a line of Fords that used the same setup for the gear detection, so perhaps I'll be able to source this switch from a cheaper, more mass produced vehicle.

I got my "wire frame" from a Ford 6R60 for 129 bucks. Installed last weekend, reset the codes, and I've been driving without issue since. The code has not reappeared and my symptoms of a trans failsafe after 20 minutes are gone.
