I have a 1997 GTP and my shift lock went out. I fixed it. I pulled off the plastic shroud by my shifter. If just snaps on. I then took a rubber bumper ( thinks thick washer but made of rubber) and cut it so it would open like the letter C. Then i used a big standard screw driver to open the shift lock solenoid and I jammed that bumper in there so it can not close. Was a very cheep fix. Better than the 300 bucks GM wanted. And it has lasted over a year now.

2003 Pontiac grand prix will not shift out of park?

CHECK THE FEUS BOX IT SHOULD BE THE ONE UNDER THE HOOD OR CHECK YOUR MANUAL IN FEUS SECTION I am not so sure about the above answer. There is a switch attached to your brake. That may be bad. Then there is the shift lock solenoid under you shifter. You can manually open it and it will allow you to shift out of park. To fix that part you must by it from GM. And it is like 300 bucks. I just disabled the shift lock. Works everyday.
