The 2011 Ford F-150's neutral safety switch is located at the base of the gear selector on the right side, where it connects to the transmission. When this switch malfunctions, you may experience difficulty starting your truck or shifting out of park. To check if the neutral safety switch is faulty, turn off the car and try starting the truck. If it doesn't start, move the transmission selector to neutral. If it starts in neutral, it indicates a faulty safety switch. Replacing the switch itself is inexpensive, but labor costs from a mechanic may be around $200 to access and replace it.
I'm not sure where that would be located because I can't find it on my 2011 F-150 truck.
The neutral safety switch in the 2011 Ford F-150 can be located on the gear shifter inside the cabin of the vehicle.
How about we discuss the lasso instead?
The neutral safety switch for a 2011 F-150 XLT 5.0 is located inside the transmission on the valve body. To access it, you need to unbolt the transmission pan and then remove the valve body.
I can't find it anywhere on my 2011 F-150 4x4 Platinum.
Many 6R80 transmissions, equipped with a 6-speed automatic, contain a range sensor/lead frame internally. If you lack experience working inside a transmission, it is not advisable to attempt this repair. Unlike a standard neutral safety switch, the range sensor is not located externally or on the gear selector.
Have you located it? I'm searching for it in my 2010 F-150.
Yes, it's within the transmission on the valve body.
On the driver's side of the transmission
I'm having trouble locating the picture. Could you please send it to me?
You're asking about the location of the transmission, correct?
There is no neutral safety switch located on the exterior of the transmission of a 2011 F150. I have two of these trucks and neither one has a visible switch where the shift lever connects to the transmission. It must be located internally.
I'm sorry, I couldn't find the specific location of the transmission cable on the 2011 Ford F-150. Can you please provide more details about where it should be attached?
