All's well in park and neutral, but when in reverse or drive, the radio quits, intermittent wipers fail, windows won't work, loss of about 75% of power steering. Put it in nuetral and all is well. It turned out to be the transmission range sensor. I found 10 other people who have had the same failure in a 96 or 97 Ford Taurus.

When the gear shift is in reverse & drive, radio goes off, power assist goes off at anytime. Very dangerous. Sounds like a reaccuring problem based on reports I have seen. Electrical of some sort.

While driving and applying brakes power steering willgo from off to on intermittently. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer indicated sensor was going bad in steering column. Please add VIN.

Power steering intermittent failure; first began when placing shift lever into reverse gear, then later occurred also in forward drive gears. Suspect electrical/electronic problem since radio speakers also go silent and power windows do not operate when this occurs. Discovered that removal of 15amp fuse controlling backup lights/heater return power steering and radio control. All other fuses working properly. Dealer is not yet contacted.
