1992-96 Ford Bronco Brake-Shift Interlock Switch Location & Override Procedure

This document is an exploded-view illustration of a steering column with an accompanying service note describing the Brake-Shift Interlock Switch used in 1992-96 vehicles. The diagram labels four components: the Shift Lever Assembly (part reference 7202), the Steering Column (3C529), the Multi-Function Switch (13K359), and the Brake Interlock Switch, which is noted to be part of the 3C529 steering column assembly. The text explains that if the brake circuit fuse is blown or the interlock solenoid has shorted internally, the vehicle will not shift out of Park even with the ignition on and the brake pedal depressed. It then provides a temporary override procedure: apply the parking brake, remove the ignition key, reinsert the key and rotate it one position clockwise (ignition off), shift the selector lever to Neutral, and then start the vehicle. A note warns that if the vehicle is shifted back into Park, the override procedure must be repeated. This page is useful for owners diagnosing a shifter stuck in Park and for locating the brake-shift interlock switch on the steering column relative to the shift lever and multi-function switch.
