For column shifters, find the small rectangular cover on the top of the steering column, use a small flat blade screwdriver and gently remove the cover, then using your finger, depress the "shift lock mechanism override tab", holding this tab down, move the gear selector to drive... this will let you select between reverse "R", neutral "N", and drive "D", once you put it in park, you will have to depress the release tab again.
The parking brake interlock on video players in cars is an important safety feature and should not be disabled.
I own a 2006 Mazda Tribute I. I am not a mechanic but I recently adjusted my E-brake, and this what I discovered... The E-brake adjustment nut is located under the E-brake leather cover (directly to the left of the E-brake lever). You have to remove the E-brake cover and tighthen the bolt to the proper adjustment.
please answer this question - i have the same problem! Thanks
The parking brake interlock on an in car video player is a safety feature to prevent the driver being distracted. It should not be disabled.
Find the switch attached to the brake pedal for the shift interlock and jump the two wires together. Be careful not to disconnect the brake light switch
Disabling the parking brake interlock for in-dash DVD players is against the law in many jurisdictions. The interlock is there as a safety feature and should not be adjusted in any way. The interlock is a safety feature to avoid distracting a driver while driving. However in some older vehicles it is necessary to attach the parking brake wire to a switch to ground. The switch is to maintain legality as one cannot watch a movie while driving.
I just paid $250 for brake pads and for them to refinish the rotars on the front only. This was at a Meineke in Philadelphia
Check the shifter interlock system. A simple problem like a bad brake light switch can make the interlock not release. Possible fuse or wiring problem also. this is only a guess because of lack of information (Year, make, model, etc) given. Also check the owners manual for bypass instructions if the car does have a interlock system. An interlock system needs the brake pedal depressed to move the shifter.
It's either 14 or 17 mm wrench , not Allen key.
