Ford Fusion stuck in 4th gear and car wont start
My ford fusion semi auto broke down and ford garage says the IDS read it as a module fault and I would need 2 x new parts - ECU and actuator! I took the parts to a ECU solution firm instead as it was cheaper. The parts were returned by this firm as fixed and tested as working. The ford garage have refitted these reconditioned parts and are now saying the fault is 'stuck in 4th gear and car wont start'! The ECU firm have agreed to look again at the parts and retest and fix, if needed. I am in a difficult position if these parts are refitted and the car still wont start/work???

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Usually the actuator rod gets seized in the housing. I have done a couple of these in the last year.
IDS is required to 'learn' the transmission after any parts are replaced.
Ford dealers should know this.
Also they can get a wiring fault going to the ECU/Actuators that will put faults in, and they sometimes blow a simple fuse in the fuse box behind the glovebox that feeds an ignition live to the transmission module.
It stops it starting too....

Another question, is it possible that the gear selectors have been messed up? i.e. the programmer is not recognising the gears cos it has been messed with since breaking down?? Hope this makes sense?

Car still not starting. The ford garage are still saying it is faulty parts but have confirmed that diagnostics showing no faults. Ford garage wouldnt progress further and said I had to collect car so I have had to ask for second opinion. Any ideas/suggestions??? I can't beleive my car is unfixable??????

if ecu and actuators have come back ok it could still be down to programming issue.used to work at fords and programming the learning sequence can be a real pain sometimes

Yes, still having problems with my car!!!!!!!!!!!
The diagnostics are now saying B2479 Brake Park Switch Circuit short to ground and P0204 injector circuit malfunction -4
Are these two codes related? i.e. if brake pedal switch not working, will it effect my injector??

Got injector working by moving some random wires? Been running fine for over a week but now............................................my reverse gear works intermittently. If i'm on a hill/slope, the reverse will work or if i move into drive then back to neutral, then reverse, the reverse gear works?????????????????
