PROBLEM SHIFTING OUT OF PARK

Not enough info. Does the shifter move but the transmission not engage? Start with checking the fluid level while the engine is running. If it low... top it up. And check for leaks. If fliud is okay, then maybe the transmission module needs replace? If the shifter not moving? If the brake fully pressed before you shift?

Yes

its a moderately well known problem. there is brake/park interlock. with the key in run, you must press the brake pedal about 1/2 inch (until the brake lights come on) for a solenoid in the steering column to disengage and permit the shift lever to be moved. If you do that (Key->run, brake pressed) and the brake lights come on but the shift lever won't move, then the steering column shroud has to be removed (3 screws) and invesitgated. You should discover a small plastic tab, typically pink, is blocking the shift level. sometimes people find loose change and debris there, sometimes there's a wiring fault, and so on. If there's no simple fix you can move the plastic tab and drive the car to someone who can fix it for you.

This just happened to me,followed your instructions,it worked.Thanks,Thanks,Thanks, shifted right out of park.

Thanks mine wouldnt shify out of park w 10 40 and a screw driver moved interlick switch thanks for the info . Very thankfull

My has the same problem: no shift, no crank no start, no power train. Was advised to change the transmission range sensor. I did but, No help. I need help very badly.

With brake pedal depressed, brake light comes on

Additional information: van parked in driveway for 1 year. The transmission was bad: no reverse and I dropped the trans pan and found big chunks of broken parts. Then replaced the transmission. That’s when I realized the new problem: no start, no crank, no powertrain. No shift . Even when the shifter cable is disconnected from the transmission.
