Push switch in and it turns off. The manual says to turn switch all the way to right but doesn't say to pull switch out.

Hi, I assume your getting a PO 119 code: "The PCM has determined that the input from the engine coolant temperature sensor is intermittent"? The CHT sensor is in the valley of the motor under the intake manifold. If you’re looking at the motor from the front, it's on the rear passenger side. To change it, you need to remove the intake manifold. If you have small hands and flexible wrists, you can get a 3/4 wrench around it and remove it. This is about a three hour job at the dealer.  
 

it may push the gear out just fine, but lack power to keep it pressed forward .Sounds like a solinoid problem. It is turning off before releasing the key. Check the solinoid! God-Bless!

5 Flywheels? Where EXACTLY are they breaking? This will give clues as to what the issue is. Have you used a Dial Indicator to check the 'run out' on the flywheel and the crank flange? This is a measurement to see if the crank is spinning the flywheel without any wobble which could be signs of issues with crank seals, big end bearings and/or the crank itself. Use the comment button below with more information and I'll try to help you more.

the keyless entry module is on the drivers side of the truck up under the dash directly above the emergency brake. The tag should have a 5 digit number in bold, that is your door code.

The cigar lighter is installed from the back of the center trim panel.

To remove the center trim panel, open the ash tray and pull out on each lower corner. It will be hard the 1st time you remove the spring clips. Once the lower part is released, work your way up to the top, there are 3 spring clips on each side of the center trim panel. ( circled in black in the picture below )
When you get to the top, be careful how far out you pull, the Passenger airbag deactivation light is at the top, with 2 small wires to it. ( circled in green )


Once you have the center panel released, you can remove the HVAC connector ( clamp over type connectors ) or work on it in the truck.

Remove the cigar lighter connector, and release the locking tabs on the cigar lighter body. Pull the lighter plug through the front of the panel.

Hope helps.

To do a hard reset on the vehicle disconnect both battery terminals and touch them together without touching the battery for 60 seconds. But it sounds like you may have failing coils.

Passenger side foot well, find fuse box, look up and toward the engine compartment. Its a small black part with a red or white plunger on top. It can be hard to see, it requires some contorting but easy to feel for.

have a 2004 ford f150 with a 5.4L. While the truck would sit and idle my temp gauge would go to zero and the check gauge and check engine light would come on. Ran the codes and got P1289. Cleared the codes and truck would do fine for a few days and then it would happen again while sitting and idling. I replaced the CHT sensor and cranked the truck. The check gauge light can on and got the P1289 code. Replaced the CHT again(thinking the new one was bad) and cleared the codes. Cranked the truck again and it did the same thing. Cleared the codes and the check gauge light and check engine light would come back on with the motor running. When the motor is warmed up, I turned on the key on without cranking the motor, the temp gauge works, when the motor is cranked and running, the temp gauge goes to zero and the the ckeck gauge light on back on and gives the P1289 code. Does any one have any ideas on what to do

I'd suspect a probem with timing. An engine running with the timing off can run very hot from pre-ignition. Overheating can cause plugs to fail prematurely.

They are in the transmission . Remove the transmission fluid pan. You will see the valve body , the solenoids are mounted to it. They are clipped in. Do not remove the valve body unless you have to. Things pop out of it. Be careful removing solenoids, things can pop out of these holes also. Hold the solenoid and remove the clip/s.
