MLP Switch Replace

I was going to replace the MLP sensor on the transmission of my 1994 Ford F150 E40D.

I bought one from the Ford dealership. When I opened the box it has another plug along with some more stuff. The existing wiring harness plug will not work. The instructions tell me to remove all 8 wires and put them in the new plug.

I called the dealership and asked if they had one that would fit my truck and they told me no. I will also need an alignment tool to put the switch in place.

I am going to take my truck to a Ford mechanic the day after tomorrow and he will install it.

Do any of you know of an adapter that I could buy that would fit the switch and connect to the existing harness?

the new plug is a retro fit. the old style was very prone to letting water leak into the MLP. actually the entire MLP is a new design with a new plug. there's a tech bulliten on this #95-6-19

Thanks for the reply

I feel better about the plug. It's good to know Ford improved it.

The mechaniic is installing it tomorrow; I hope this stops the "klunk" when it shifts.

Thanks,

Smitty
