If you have a security system , Use your remote to lock and unlock the doors .This should work on flashing lights. ( change remote batteries if weak. For shifter, unlock cable and reset

SOURCE: 2006 Nissan X Trail Gear Shift Stuck in Park.

This is not a permanent fix, but you'll be able to shift and drive...this is a "safety feature" when you're break lights aren't working...it may be a fuse issue, i found that didn't help either.

How to drive it while it's "broken" On the top left of your gear shift is circle that looks like a button that is only 3/4 there...see picture (it's circled in red)

e024280.jpg
pry that off with a key or something... now restart your car, push on the break and at the same time insert a key or something into the now open hole...while pushing down use the other key to shift into reverse. You will need to do the same thing to shift back into park.

Good heavens that is the most inneficient safety feature I've ever heard of. How about instead of leaving the car immoble and keeping you in a scetchy neihborhood to get mugged they just "invent" a warning light notification. grr

SOURCE: power door locks on a 2004 chevy tahoe don't work

The door locks on my 1999 tahoe stopped working and I checked the fuse, which was fine. The problem turned out to be that the fuse for my cigarette lighter was bad and for some reason it also must be working in order for the door locks to work. Put in a new cigarette lighter fuse and the door locks worked again!

SOURCE: 2007 Nissan Versa gear shift locked in Park.

There is a switch under your break padal, which is responsible for tail lights and gear lock. if that switch is working fine and your tail lights are working fine then check the electronic lock of gear which is under the cover of gear.

96 tahoe keeps blowin the dash ,parking and courtesy door lights fuse

That;s fuse #4 check brake switch to ignition do you have curse control that will also come into play .
What you really need are the factory manuals and a meter or test light to track this down .
A company called HELM .COM prints most factory manuals for most vehicles .50 to 100 dollars you need them to fix especially a 96 Chevy that's the first year OBD 2 they tend to have design problems and are hard to work on .

Why will my 08 chevy colorado not shift out of park?

I answered this earlier. This should help get you home or to a shop. Turn you ign. keg to just before ,on , "no dash lights" do not start it. now shift into neutral and then start the engine and shift into gear. This is only a temp. solution. The "TRANNY< BRAKE LOCK SWITCH" needs replacing and it needs to be done by a pro, with specialty tools

Replaced brake switch now won't go out of park 1997 chevy tahoe what do i need to do?

do the brake lights come on now with the new brake switch? Why did you replace the brake switch? It sounds like the switch is not being actuated or does not have a good electrical connection. You cannot move the shifter out of park unless the brake switch indicates the brakes are depressed. Whether or not the brake lights are functioning is a good indicator of whether the switch is working or not.

Hi, I have a 96 windstar. One of the wires on the brake light switch down at the brake pedal has broke at the plug and then when I went to repair it touched the steering bar and sparks flew. Once I...

fuse #7 - 15 amp , Fuse #21 - 10 amp.

Maybe you blew solid state module. There is a manual bypass.

Shift Interlock System A shift interlock mechanism prevents shifting the transaxle out of the PARK position unless the brake pedal (2455) is applied. The shift lock actuator is energized when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position.
  • This locks the shifter in the PARK position.
  • When the brake pedal is applied and the stoplight switch (13480) is activated, the shift lock actuator is deactivated and the shifter can be moved out of the PARK position.
-----------------------------------------------------
  • Shift Interlock System Does Not Release or Lock Properly
  • Fuse.
  • Circuit.
  • Shift lock actuator.
  • Gearshift lever adjustment.
  • Stoplight switch.

My chevy cavalier gear shift locked in park

First determine that the brake lights are working.
If they are, then the circuit that powers the shift lock actuator has power and it is a matter of determining if the actuator itself is bad or some other problem.

If you turn the key to where it unlocks the steering wheel, but none of the lights come on in the dash, you should be able to shift to neutral and start the vehicle. Make sure the brake is pressed and the park brake is engaged before attempting this.

Hope helps.

96 Chevy Tahoe door lock problem

Hello Scullen27,

While I vigorously recommend owners wanting to work on their own vehicles should purchase the FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUALS... for one time little jobs there are a FEW good alternatives... that ae also FREE.

BBB Industries
maintains an very excellent technical database
for popular USA market vehicles:
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS
and Circuit wiring diagrams
(
registration is required... as these are real documents)

A fuse would seem to be indicated ...
if your
control is sound a relay operation... but the
REAR-HATCH is not cooperating... THAT WOULD
be the place to start,

Hope this helps...
