James, is it the one by the transmission? There is a solenoid by the tranny that prevents the lever from moving to D (or R, 1, 2, 3) if the brake pedal is not pressed. I believe there is a fuse for the solenoid also. Have you checked all fuses?JamesVee said:
What are the symptons?

I'm still having shifting problems. My symptoms are as follows:
*vehicle "doesn't know" whether it wants to be in OD or 3rd gear when traveling 45-50mpg. Constant shifting back and forth.
*When coming to a complets stop and then when proceeding to go again the vehicle does not downshift properly, likes to stay in 3rd gear.
*When shifting from neutral to reverse the vehicle does not always go into reverse.
Those are the majority of my symptoms. The vehicle shifts fine when manually shifting and goes into reverse with no hitch when I'm in Low Range. I've checked the MAF sensor and it appears to be functioning just fine. I have a '99 DI with just over 80,000 miles on it.

James,
How did you check the MAF, Scanner??
How often do you service the tranny, kind of sounds like it may be time, might also want to consider haing it flushed or at least using some Lucas tranny additve to free up the valves in the valve body.

The tranny has been serviced. That was the first thing I did, althought I did not put in any additive. The MAF was cleaned off and gauged at .08g/sec. When removing the sensor there was a difference in how the truck ran, hence the assumption that it was functioning. I really don't want to have to drop the entire transmission to have it diagnosed.

You should be able to have someone plug in and do a diagnostic test, this is not a big deal to do and it will be very exact as to it's findings.
