Ford taurus 1995 will not move when started

Check your Transmission fluid!

Top off ATF fluid on level ground

Use gear shiftier to move from 1 - 2 -3
to proof transmission is funcational.

Hi Jeff,
This is an old warning issue or procedure, I had the same problem a few years ago with my Ford Taurus 1995, if rear stop lights not work, you wont be able to moved the shift out of Parking (P); this is to avoid driving without rear stop lights. If no lights, normally a fuse is blow out or all bulb lights are gone, please check.
There is an alternate procedure to be able to drive your car, but, avoid driving without Stop lights. Turn the ignition key to the point before starting the engine, this release the lock for the driving wheel and transmission shift, press the brake, put the shift in Neutral (N) and start the engine. Im not sure if your Ford Edge has the no key starting button or fob, there is a procedure to release the locks and be able to drive, should be in your drivers manual, but, again; the intention is to avoid moving the car without Stop Lights. I hope this helps. Happy Holidays and take care.

possable bad brake lite switch. also check fuses.

This can be a dangerous issue. If the gear shift is that sensitive a simple bump could cause the transmission to shift out or into a gear. At higher speeds this could be very dangerous. I suggest you take the car into a transmission shop to have them diagnose the problem. It may be as simple as a linkage adjustment. Err on the side of safety.

HAVE CAR SCANNED TO CHECK FOR TRANSMISSION FAULT CODES.

Sounds like your transmission is no longer engaging the gears. this could be bad clutch plates (automatics have them too), loose connector, etc...

if the car doesn't move then the speedo would not move, right? or do u mean something else? yours trans has failed or the trans digital range selector switch is bad, have a scanner put on the system and see if any trouble codes are present.

then the transmission has failed or has sticking engagement solenoid in trans pan, have the fluid and filter replaced and see if that corrects the problem

my ford taurus did this to me too.... your car wont move out of park because it might be the neutral safety switch because your brake light connector piece might have come undone...
now first off the brakes (my switch was above my brake pedal) and just make sure its clipped in and then your neutral safety switch should go of and you can put it into gear.
if you cant find the brake thing to see if its unplugged just turn your key slightly on before all your dash lights come on and put the car into neutral and then start your car and you can put it into gear.
