Where are the vacuum hoses located on a 96 Ford Explorer transmission 5R55E?

The vacuum hoses on a 1996 Ford Explorer's 5R55E transmission aren't directly connected to the transmission itself. The 5R55E is an electronically controlled transmission; it doesn't use vacuum for shifting.

Any vacuum lines near the transmission are likely related to other systems, such as:

* Transmission Range Sensor (PRNDL): This sensor might have a vacuum line connected, but it's for the indicator lights on the instrument cluster, showing the gear position. This is not directly involved in transmission shifting.

* Other Engine Vacuum Systems: There might be vacuum lines running nearby for the brake booster, emission control systems, or other engine components. These are not connected to the transmission's operation.

Therefore, looking for vacuum lines "on" the transmission will be fruitless. If you're experiencing transmission problems, the issue is unlikely to be related to vacuum lines. Instead, consider problems with the transmission's electronic controls, fluid level, or internal components.
