Check for a blown brake light fuse ( in the fuse panel ) or the brake light switch at the brake pedal could be the problem. The brake light switch releases the shifter lock as well as operating the brake lights.
do your brake lights work wen pressing brake . if not its the brake pedal sensor
There is a shifter interlock switch on the brake pedal which also controls the brake lights
Check the fuse first, then the brake bulbs. When you press the brake, it senses the brake lights and let's you take it out of park. This happened to me - 2 brake lights burnt at the same time with one already gone, and I couldn't get it in gear. I replaced the bulbs, touched the brake pedal and she went into gear no problem.
You probably have a blown brake light fuse for whatever reason. The shift lock operates on the same circuit as the brake lights so check the fuse first.
A brake light switch may be bad if a 1996 Toyota Corolla will not go into gear and the brake lights don't work. Another issue could be in the shift lock solenoid.
The lights come on when you start the car. They will not come on if you have the park brake on. Once you release the park brake they will come on immediately.
Check your brake lights,if they are not working it could be your brake light switch or a fuse.If you have no current to your brake lights you will have no current to your shifter release solenoid.If that's not it,could be release solenoid itself.
Check to see if the brake lights are working - brake lights and shift interlock are the same circuit. If brake lights are not working check the fuse or thealignment and operation of the stop light switch or try the following as a temporarty measure: Turn key to 1st position (Unlock) without starting vehicle Shift to Neutral to start vehicle Then shift to Drive
Check to see if the brake lights work. Had a mustang that the brake light switch activation would release the shift locking mechanism.
check the sensor on the brake pedal.
According to the 2003 Lincoln Navigator Owner Guide : Yes , it has an automatic parking brake release
It's the brake switch. It tells your break lights to come on.
