Possibly the transmission cables need adjusting but I am afraid you will have to take it to a garage/service centre.

2006 Ford Escape 3.0 automatic transmission. I need the location of the back up light switch for it please?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

The videos explain really well. The first one also mentions the crazy pricing of parts.

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima that won't go or reverse could that be the transmission module???

car is only two year old

wont select reverse of revs out in reverse?

module says std automatic and not a CVT transmission
when a module goes into fail safe you always have reverse and third

check oil level first
wont select
check shift cables or linkages adjustment shift stick alignment

revs out
more likely a solenoid or mechanical failure
if there is a bang as you shift into reverse its the oil pump

if none of the above are the cause
could be the module ......not sure on that

I have volvo 240 with manual transmission and the reverse lights are on all the time

Sounds like the backup light switch is stuck. It is normally installed in the side of the transmission case and is activated by the transmission going into reverse. They can get gummed up over time and fail to release when coming out of reverse.

Rover Not going into reverse

No reverse with normal forward engagement is a sign of a failed transmission.

My 2001 Blazer will go forward but doesnt go in reverse. Is there a reverse switch on or near the transmission?

Does the gear selector show that is in reverse? Does the transmission have gear selector solenoids on the transmission? If so, may be a bad reverse select solenoid. Do the 'backup' lights come on when reverse is selected?
