* Near the gear shifter: This is a common spot, often integrated into the center console around the automatic transmission shifter. It might be a button, a switch, or part of a larger control panel.
* On the steering column: Some models may have the interlock switch located on the steering column itself, near the ignition switch.
* Within the ignition system: In some cases, the interlock mechanism is integrated directly into the ignition system and not accessible as a separate switch.
To find it on *your* specific F-150, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource, as it will show the exact location for your vehicle's year and model.
2. Examine the area around the gear shifter and steering column closely: Look for any small switches or buttons that aren't immediately obvious.
3. Search online for your specific year and model: A search like "Ford F-150 [Year] interlock switch location" might yield images or forum discussions showing the location.
If you can't find it, it's possible the interlock mechanism is integrated into the ignition system and isn't a separate, visible switch. In that case, a mechanic or dealership would be best to help identify any issues.
