2007 Ford Ranger 3.0 V6 . I NEED HELP!!!!!

I am going to try to explain exactly what's going on. my boyfriend went to go check everything under the hood the other day and he happened to pull on what we thought was the Ford the transmission breather vent. Now we have no clue where it goes I have attached a picture of what it looks like below and we have 3 new codes that popped up
po155
Po161
Po765.
Also some other things to point out. The car will mo longer start until we put it in neutral. Then we feel like it skips a gear when we go to drive it. It also is extremely hott under the passenger and driver side floorboards. But the engine seems fine, no overheating.
The truck has almost 300,000 miles on it and we know it might be coming to an end with it but we can't afford a new truck and we also can't go without our truck. It's how we make a living. Thank you in advance for all your help!

P0161 02 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
P0765 Shift Solenoid D Malfunction

He pulled some wires out as well while he was under the truck
The trans vent hose is UNDER the truck on top of the transmission, so are you sure thats where he was pulling stuff out, not in the engine bay
If he was in the engine bay then it is not the trans vent hose
Picture here of trans with vent hose attached: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...ages/4R55E.jpg


Check fuse 43 in engine bay fuse box, 20amp, it powers O2 Heaters and solenoid D


A common issue on Ford trucks with Column shifter is that it gets loose and no longer pulls trans all the way into Park so no start

Google: Ford Ranger loose column shifter

Lots of videos, Ranger or F150 are all the same for this issue, usually just need to tighten a few screws under the dash
