Torque converter clutch solenoid is stuck. if when you turn the ignition off and it will work again , then it is possibly the tcm. There is a procedure that has to be followed the verify any defects. It takes a hend held computer. or a lot of time and a ohm // volt meter. the solenoid is part of a package, you can replace just the solenoid (from a junk yard) Or get the whole package (junk or new). these are not to hard to replace. Let me know I can help you threw all of it.

I have a 2005 ford escape I put a kill switch to turn off my amp and my radio but now that I want to take it off the radio wont come one unless I have the kill switch wires connected any suggestions

Look this is a very very simple fix. You have what is called a remote wire coming from the radio is usually the red and or the yellow wire what's happened is your remote wire which allows memory to stay on the radio is ran to your switch. You must eliminate your hot wire to your switch and run a hot wire off of your factory plug in to the remote wire on your radio. This will fix this issue.

Ford Escape 2005 engine quits when I brake to a stop

The automatic idle control valve may need cleaning.

P0750 and P0755 codes on a 2005 Ford Escape, 6 cyl. Codes were pulles with the Check Engine light came on and then the warning light (O/D Off/Transmission) started flashing.

All I will tell you is, that any time you have transmission
issues,you have to stop using the vehicle immediately

It doesn't matter what the situation is with transportation
or appointments,your vehicle has priority over everything

If not, your going to end up pulling it out & your repair bill
will start at $1,500 & go up

Both those codes, as I suspect you know, appear to be
shift solenoids & you don't exactly have a premier trans
to start with,mazda I believe

I would suggest a trans repair shop
