I'm certain it is. If it's like my other transmissions you'll have to drop the trans pan to gain access to it.

Are you talking about this?

I dont remember exactly what it looked like.... but here is an image of the transmission.

I forget which one on mine yet out tho. which ever one controls overdrive

oh no, what I posted sits outside the transmission and is connected to the gear linkage.

Did the OBD code itself tell you which solenoid it was?

Where can I get the manual for my particular transmission, the one I have from haynes does not include the one I have. Haynes Ford Automatic Transmission Overhaul (10355). Just notice it does not include any model with solenoids inside the trans.
Thanks

and Im not sure.... what i did is got the code and went to the transmission shop and asked them what it meant (they told me) and now its fixed lol

edit----

Im pretty sure all you have to do it check it out on the internet (I BET its on here somewhere) lol

Does anyone have the resistance range for the solenoid? Mine does not seem to be visualy damaged. Here is a pic of my Transmission Control solenoid: mex2texzz's 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis - Brownsville, TX

and here is a pic of the available part from AZone: AutoZone.com | | Transmission Control Solenoid | TRANS CONTROL SOLENOID

Thanks for your help!

They don't show a problem and can be sticking with the proper resistance. Check our sponsor, Rock Auto, they have a discount to our members.
