My transmission is stuck in park?

your fuse for this is in the panel under the rear seat on the left side. there is also a relay there that activates the shift interlock. Here is a guide with the fuse locations below.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Most common fault is the shift interlock solenoid that is part of the shifter.

shift interlock solenoid doesnt seem to be too common as i thought. i have the same problem and replaced the shift interlock sol. prob is still present. hmac300 does the fuse blow easily after jump starting? is the relay a common prob?

it shouldn't blow after jump starting unless there was a wire that has rubbed through.relays can go bad anytime but those are the easiest and cheapest things to do first.

shifter wont come out of park. replaced shift interlock solenoid. problem still present.

Check ignition 3 relay in left rear fuse block and the rear integration module-

do you happen to know what the relay sends power to? also would you happen to know how the shift interlock system works as a whole?? as far as shift interlock sol, brake switch, fuses, relays, modules?? i really appreciate the help.

See below

thanks for the help

Key will not come out ignition gearshift will not move.

Hello,

This is a common problem. what happens is there is a bushing on the shift linkage that goes out not allowing the shifter to fully engage the transmission and ignition interlock system. here is a guide to help fix it. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

The light remains in "D" shifter in park. When I took apart the top of the console I manually took it out of park but it doesn't have any resistance as if it's is actually switching between gears. All fuses ar good and I haven't had any problems out of it. Made an hour and a half drive, parked, then drove it about 6 hours later. Put it in park, got back in and drove it approximately 7 miles home and that's where I am now. Help!

Hello,

I'm Tom I will give you a hand. Sounds to me like the linkage on the transmission has come off. Has anyone done work on the car lately? Give me a second I will get the info for where you should look. here is the linkage spot. Let me get a clearer picture though. You are saying it's in drive only. no Reverse, no Park, but you were able to start it by moving the shifter into park to engage the starter but when it started it was in Drive? the linkage could be bad at the shifter also.

I was able to move the shifter to park, however the car won't start. I believe because it's in drive.

Hi,

Yes, it thinks it's in drive. Are you able to get under the car to look at the linkage? I think that where we need to start.
Let me know.
Tom

I'll look at it tomorrow. Do I put the selector in drive when repairing the linkage if that is in fact the problem?

Huey,

Yes on the reconnect or install of the cable. The reverse light coming on when all is done is how you will make sure its adjustment is correct, the indicator on"R", transmission in its second position, light on (REV) will get you to the spot to tighten the adjuster. Then test to make sure its all good
I would put the selector into what you believe is in Drive then slowly move it through all of them counting the clicks or selections making they are all there, see if you can notice if the reverse lights come on, see if the cable coming in is loose. That's what we are looking for under there. Linkage cables don't really break unless it was ever crashed. they get messed up at the ends where they connect. Either the spot that holds the casing solid or the cable end and connects to its lever. We are looking at the same type of thing on the shifter in the console as well. The center console shifter if accidentally hit hard enough could cause this issue. I attached link to a general article for a related part to give you an idea of what is down there at the linkage on the transmission
