2006 Ford Crown Victoria Questions & Answers
Electrical?
My wife had a car 06 cobalt which the electric motor on power assist steering quit running, AC seemed to not put out and issues with the lights. The dealer wanted over 400 dollars to repair. She drove it home to let me try to figure it out. A couple days later the car would not crank so I replaced the battery and all the problems were gone. If the check engine light is not giving you a code to help I would suggest load test battery(a battery can have good voltage but volt drop can indicate it is going bad) and check alternator output.
Turns over, but why doesn't it start?
It's probably a battery problem. Even if it starts once, it might not start again, so you're still left with the same problem. Either take the battery to be tested, or find someone with a "battery charger/starter" who can hook up and give you enough voltage to boost it to life. Good luck.
Why won't it shift out of park?
There is a linkage between the ignition and the shifter that seems to have disconnected or broke. When you turn the key to the on position it unlocks the shifter in the column, remove the plastic cosmetics around the ignition and you can work the key back and forth and see the rod going up and down. If not, then replace.
Where is transmission speed sensor located
There are multiple speed sensors in the transmission. I assume you're referring to the vehicle speed sensor which is also known as the output shaft speed sensor which is located in the tailshaft housing.
