I have a 2002 F250 just replaced the transmission range sensor because I got a po705 code, sure enough one of the leads was broken. Now it won’t start in park but halfway between park and reverse and when I put it In park the reverse lights come on. Why would this happen? Is the new sensor faulty???

If you look at the transmission range switch, It says neutral with two alignment lines.

You place the shifter in neutral, then when the switch installed you rotate the switch on the loose mounting bolts until the two lines are aligned. Then you tighten the two bolts .

Like Tester said, you don’t have the TRS adjusted properly.

If you’re under the truck with the transmission in neutral be careful you don’t kill yourself.

Thank you for your answers, you don’t have to worry about me getting under that truck with it in neutral. Especially so close to a potentially deadly drive shaft. All I thought about while installing the sensor was Mark “The Bird” Fidrych

@AshtonStone

Is that a chocolate lab or a black lab?
