SOURCE: transmission engage into drive or any gears

If it is a automatic you might have slipped the shift cable out of place or it snapped they are usually quiet and happen out of nowhere.

What causes a heater to stop blowing hot air just cold in a 2005 grandam

Low coolant. Check for leaks. Could be the reservoir cap and the hose that goes from the radiator to the reservoir. No kinks in the hose.

I have a 94 buick park avenue and the shifter stopped engaging the transmission. I had to manuver it home in drive and the turn off the vehicle. the shifter is in park but the indicator shows it in drive.

Is it just the indicator that stopped working? If you can still shift through the gears then I wouldn't spend the money fixing the indicator.
thank you,
Lee

What is the orange cog light on my discovery

If it is top left of the control panel and has a little thermometer in the middle of it, then its the transmission oil temperature light.

"In some markets, this bulb will temporarily illuminate to indicate the bulb is working when the ignition key is moved to position 2".

Generally, if its on for less than a couple of seconds - all is fine. If it stays on whilst driving then your transmission oil is too hot (hot weather, handbrake left on, punishing the engine etc ....).

If it comes on, check the oil temperature guage, and slow down. If it remains on, stop the vehicle and do not continue until it has extinguished.

Always try to get to the root cause of this fault, as it may be something more serious, such as loss of coolant (leading to engine seizure). Never check the coolant level on a hot engine - serious risk of burns injury.

I had the same problem a year ago. I problem was that the intake manifold gasket had a small hole and it was causing the computer to constantly change the air to fuel ratio. The constant changing cause the engine to die at stops.
