My 2004 trailblazer wont shift the gear is in park but the dash says drive the gear shift button and the breaks are hard to push

SOURCE: Gear shift rebuilt now my car won't go into park....

generally the first place I would look is under the hood at the linkage on the transmission. it's has a lever with a bracket for the cable.generally the hard shifting is due to a poor adjustment where the lever does not travel as far as it should. first step is to remove the cable from the shifter bar. then move the shifter bar to the park position manually. you will notice you will have to loosen the jam nut for the cable this will allow you to move the cable into the right adjustment. once you have done the adjustment tighten down the jam nut and rehook the cable to the shifter bar you will find that you can shift into park more easily... please rate

You seem to have two (2) separate problems one may be a BAD brake light switch this switch is mounted at the top of BRAKE pedal and control the locking mechanism on gear shifter(safety component-for example if a kid is sitting in seat with vehicle running he/she will NOT be able to put vehicle in gear without stepping on brake). The other problem is a BAD shifter cable-this cable moves the selector in the transmission when you move shift knob. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

there is a bypass for the safety switch, unfortunately you have to remove the shift cover, the whole plastic piece. there is a white "lever" that you can push that will move the pin out of the way so you can shift it, you have to hold the piece and move the shifter at the same time. it is on the right side of the shifter base (under the plastic piece) you will see what I mean when you remove the center piece.

The park shift lock needs adjustment. The solenoid that locks irt inplace maybe the cause of this

I had the same exact problem a few months back. I found that if you look up high on the brake pedal, you will find a switch that it hits to activate the brake light. This also serves as an interlock switch for you to switch the vehicle out of park. There are plastic tab holding the switch in place to replace it. They are a bit pesky. Once you get it loose, you can follow the wires coming from it and unplug it. Once that is done.. you just reverse the process and install the new one. Putting the new one back in went much faster for me. Its about a 1 hour job at most and the part runs about $18 from the dealer. Have fun!
