This document is Sheet 3 of 6 of Ford instruction sheet I.S. 6628A, titled "1995 MLP/TR Sensor Connector Assembly Swap Instructions," copyright 1996 Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan, dated 11-96. The page consists of three illustrated figures showing how to de-pin an old Manual Lever Position / Transmission Range (MLP/TR) sensor vehicle harness connector and transfer the wires into a new connector assembly. Figure 1 shows the MLP/TR vehicle harness connector held in hand, using a dental pick (or equivalent) to release the "red" pin separator. Figure 2 shows a small flat blade screwdriver being used to extract a pin from the connector, with a removed pin shown at the top of the illustration. Figure 3 shows the new connector assembly, grommet, and grommet retainer exploded apart, with instruction to insert pins one at a time from the old connector assembly into the new connector. A caution note states to ensure the correct grommet and grommet retainer are separated. This sheet is part of a multi-page procedure; a reader learns the tools required (dental pick, small flat blade screwdriver) and the correct sequence for swapping the MLP/TR sensor connector on 1995 Ford vehicles with this sensor.
