2003 Hyundai Elantra won't start, but has power. Trying to put car from park to neutral.

Is it possible that the battery isn't fully charged? The interlock is electro-mechanical. Turning the ignition on and putting for foot on the brake should release the shifter lock as you said.

For starting issues you need to connect a scan tool and check for DTCs.

The van will not shift out of park when started.

  • Neutral safety switch sends a signal to the on-board computer to allow the engine to start and to engage the transmission
  • When not replaced, vehicle may experience no start and/or transmission will not shift out of park.Here's the part Damon.

Hello My battery died and I cannot shift to neutral to get the car out the garage to charge it. How do you manually shift to neutral. It will not move to shift into neutral. I guess it is electronic as...

If you have a shifter on the floor look for a small cover. It will allow you access to a shift release manual button. If not check the manual it will show you.

No power....no click.....no anything....

yes this car has everything electrical even transmission shifter.if the battery were totally dead it will take long time to revive it, even if it comes back most never do but jumping the battery terminals should let you shift it into neutral unless the cables you have are bad,.load test the battery if its good than check for bad fuses and bad connections.
