The 2010 Ford Escape comes with a neutral safety switch located inside the transmission housing or under the gear shifter in the center of the vehicle. Signs of a faulty switch include difficulty starting the engine, trouble starting in neutral, or the engine unexpectedly starting in any gear. If the switch is malfunctioning, it will have to be swapped out. You can anticipate spending between $40 and $124 for the parts. Opting for professional installation by a mechanic will add another $60 to $240 to the total cost.
The issue lies within the transmission's neutral safety feature or the transmission range being inside the transmission.
The neutral safety switch on a 2010 Ford Escape can be found right under the shifter on the steering column.
Is it one, the other, or perhaps a combination of both?
To the port side of the gearbox.
