so I have a 04 FX4, the Shifter interlock solenoid is shot, I have to push the little white button every time now to shift it out of park. does any one know if the Center Shifter has a different solenoid then the column shifter and if so, can i get a part number and a place to get it. as you know the FX4 is the Center shift.

 

Yes the center console has a different solenoid, and its available through ford, I want to say its 80 ballpark of the solenoid and harness.
Takes about 30 minutes or less to install it

 

Im just trying to get a part number because Im trying to avoid another ford part, if it didnt last that long and its not ment to wear out. then its not a part i want to get again from ford.

 

The only place to get that solenoid I believe will be from Ford. Doesn't matter where a part comes from, all parts are subject to breakage and wear out. Part # 7L3Z-7E096-A : This an 07 part #, however I believe they are all the same.

thank you for the number, and Im not so sure about that, Iv had parts where Iv bought from one company and it go out 2 or 3 times then bought from another company and it last the rest of the life of the truck. but I guess thats all opinion. thanks again.

 

Sounds like a situation of who may be building the part at the time, different contractors-same part #. Just a guess...
