Want to know how to get to and check/ remove the shift lock solenoid as mine is stuck in Park I have access to the shifter as I have removed the wooden panel around the shifter already but I cant seem to get the cover to remove from around the shifter and is there a a reset or a bypass button
ok what breaks on most of these shift interlock shifter ***. is where the interlock cable attaches to the shifter assy. chrysler has the same prob. cheap stuff. no i don't think you can fix it as when it was new it already was junk. call a junk yard or try to get one off ebay. and yes they are very easy to replace. goodluck

selinoid ? Solenoid
Wouldn't think so , but you never know without testing . With the truck running you step on the brake which let's you shift from park into a gear . That part works right ?
Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Circuit Description
The automatic transmission shift lock control system prevents the automatic transmission from being shifted out of park position unless you depress the brake pedal with the ignition in run or start. When the ignition switch is in run or start, the current flows from the BU/LPS fuse located in the engine wiring harness junction block through CKT 839 (PNK) to the park/neutral position switch. The park/neutral position switch also feeds the backup lamps portion of the switch. With the transmission in park, the current flows to the automatic transmission shift lock control fuse located in the engine wiring harness junction block through CKT 275 (LT GRN). The current then flows to the stoplamp switch through CKT 584 (LT GRN/BLK). The current continues to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid through CKT 1135 (DK GRN/WHT). The ground path is provided through CKT 1850 (BLK) to G203. When you depress the brake pedal, the normally closed contacts in the stoplamp switch open and the current flow is interrupted. When the current flow interrupts the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid de-energizes. The transmission may then shift to another gear. Once the transmission shifts to another gear (except park), the contacts in the park/neutral switch are open thus stopping the current flow to energize the solenoid when the brake pedal releases.
Not an uncommon problem for Audi owners. There is a way to override the park lock function bu this is a quick fix - you will need to diagnose the core issue with the selector being locked out. This might be of help to you -
Do you know why it's stuck in park ? Do the brake lights work ?
Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Description and Operation (Floor Shift)
The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the PARK position. The system consists of the following components:
• The automatic transmission shift lock solenoid (serviced as the automatic transmission shift lock actuator), as well as the body control module (BCM) and the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). The shift lock solenoid is located within the floor shift control assembly with vehicles equipped with floor shift.
• The BCM controls the voltage supply circuit of the shift lock control solenoid. The following conditions must be before the BCM will supply voltage to the shift lock control solenoid.
The BCM controls the voltage to the shift lock control solenoid through the shift lock control solenoid controlled voltage circuit. The following conditions must be met before the BCM will supply voltage to the shift lock solenoid:
• The ignition is in the ON position.
• The ECM/PCM sends an input via GMLAN serial data to the BCM indicating the transmission is in the PARK position.
• The BCM determines the brake pedal is applied according the brake pedal position.
Since the shift lock control solenoid is permanently grounded, the BCM supplies voltage to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid, mechanically unlocking the shift lever allowing the driver to move the shift lever out of the PARK position as the solenoid energizes. When the brake pedal is not applied, the BCM turns the control voltage output of the shift lock control solenoid OFF, de-energizing the shift lock control solenoid. The de-energized solenoid mechanically locks the shift lever in the PARK position.
During remote start operation, the BCM will de-energize the shift lock control circuit, locking the shift lever in the PARK position.
Do you know what DTC'S are ?
DTC B2705 Gearshift Unlock Circuit !
The body control module (BCM) controls the shift lock solenoid by providing battery voltage to the shift lock control solenoid. The BCM utilizes a smart driver to control the voltage supplied to the shift lock solenoid. The smart driver monitors the voltage and current flow of the control circuit.
Transmission Control Lever Malfunction (Floor Shift)
Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, while pressing the brake pedal, observe the scan tool Brake Applied Output Signal parameter. The reading should be ON with the brake pedal pressed.
? If not the specified value, refer to Stop Lamps Malfunction .
Press the brake pedal, the vehicle operator should be able to move the shifter lever out of the park position.
With the vehicle moving over 5 km/h (3 mph), the vehicle operator should not be able to move the shift lever into the reverse position.
dont pabnic it prob wont be transmission,, more likely a electric problem ,,, look at owners manual ,,, there is a lock solenoid to release park,,, there is a way to overridebit if solenoid breakes down,,,
Park is release by a small solenoid, the solenoid is powered up by the brake light circuit, so if the brake lights don't work due to a bad switch or wiring issue at the switch park will no release. If the brake lights do work then the wiring to the solenoid may be defective or the solenoid is sticking. Every car I have ever worked on has a bypass for the park lock, check your owner's manual for information on bypassing the lock out when this type of problem occurs.
Since it is electronically programmed, it is best to call your nearest Audi dealer service center to have it checked. Normally, replacement parts for this kind of defect, is sold by them.
