Hello, my 01 mazda 626 has no forward at all. the reverse works barely.. an expert told me to peplace the tranny so i did and still has no forward.. The reverse still works. the torque converter bolts are tight all wires are plugged in and the shifter cable is installed correctly. there are no engine codes to pull either...

try the fusable link near tyhe battery

Ignition lock is activated: You over rode it but still have original problem. Alarm system might be confused. SO....

1 disconnect battery negative (-) cable(make you have radio code if any) to reactivate radio, which works anyway if code was never set.

2 press brake peddle for 5 seconds

3 reconnect negative cable to battery.

use key and twist diver door lock to OPEN (this resets alarm which might have caused ignition lock module to activate.

You should be able to turn on the ignition, start the engine and shift out of park. Hope this helps.
