Check to make sure that the brake lights are working - shift interlock and brake lights are a common circuit. Check stop light fuse
If the engine is off, there is a small square cap next to shifter. Remove cap and use a screw driver to depress button inside hole where cap was removed. This will unlock the shifter.

What is the sprint button for Madden 10 for the ps3?
The answer is still R2. I downloaded the demo as soon as it was released, and when i played it was still the same. All the controls are the same except for the new kicking mechanism. That's a lot better and more accurate than the old one in madden 09. I hope that helps..... :)

Is the Hubble telescope still in space?
Yes. Its orbit is expected to decay some time around 2013-2021. The telescope's last maintenance has pushed its functionality to at least 2014. The HST was deployed from the Space Shuttle Discovery during the STS-31 mission in 1990. April 24, 2012 is the 22nd anniversary of its release into space, and it's still doing valuable science and returning excellent data.
Nothing happens when you press the fuel pump shut off switch?
The button pushed down is the normal operating position , if the button is popped up the switch is tripped and no power is getting to your electric fuel pump . Or do you mean that the fuel reset light came on in your dash , you pressed the button down , and the switch did not reset ? I pushed the reset button down, it stayed down. no fuel, but the light is still on. What do i need to do?

What else could be wrong with my 1993 ford escort if I have already hit the fuel cutoff switch and it still won't send fuel through?
Do you mean that you pushed the reset button on the top of the switch ? (If you hit the switch it will trip) It could be the fuse for the fuel pump relay , the fuel pump relay , a wiring connection , the fuel pump itself , empty fuel tank etc.
How do you remove the shift button from the stick on a 1999 Olds Intrigue?
My shift button broke out as well. I've searched the web and found a couple of people keeping the button and only putting it in when needed. That's cool, but I LOSE things. Another found a similar shifter at a junk yard, no luck there. I tried everything and I couldn't remove it and replace it. My conclusion is that it can't be done, so I decided to fix it. So.. I examined the button and this is what I did: First, found out on the web how to pull off the shifter. At the front of the shifter there is a small horizontal slit. If you slide a flat head screw driver into the the button and pry up a two pronged holder will slide out. Hard to get to when it's in park, but if you are on level ground, then you can set the park brake, hold the foot brake as well and put the car into gear 1. Turn the car off and see if it rolls (while still in gear 1), don't wanna be concentrating on removing the shifter while you roll into your neighbors house by mistake. Having the shifter all the way back helps to reach it. After it's out, put the car back in park and pull the shifter off by lifting up and wiggling it, twisting a bit, etc. You can't break anything here, unless you use tools to do this. So, now you got a button and a shifter where you can work with them. Looking inside the shifter where the button goes, there will be a white button that is spring loaded and a black plastic piece with a roughly square hole. Tapping the shifter on a hard surface will show that the black plastic part indeed slides in and out. This is the remainder of the button. Looking at the button, there is a square post on one side and a roughly square hole on the other. It would be sweet if the spare post would fit into the roughly square hole in the shifter but life ain't that easy. It's the other way around, the two holes have to match up and the square post pushes against the white button on the shifter. First try was sliding the button back in treated with superglue around the roughly square hole and holding it until the glue dried. Well, hard to tell when the glue dried and some of it oozed out almost stuck the whole thing down, permanently, or at least until I broke it again. So, second try. Made the shifter piece slide out by tapping the shifter and grabbed it with a pair of needle nose pliers. Jammed a flat head screw driver in the gap so that it wouldn't slide back down, and heated up my hot glue gun. Filled both holes with hot glue until it beaded up a bit at the top. Removed the screw driver and pressed the button into the shifter all the way. Held it. To make sure I squirted out a bit of hot glue on a paper then waited until that cooled and was hard. Then I released the button. If this hadn't worked I was gonna try: epoxy glue sticks. These are the green and white sticks the you activate by kneeding that Bill Mays (the pitchman for Oxy clean) sold on tv. Was planning on working it into each hole and sticking them together. Also, it looks like you could take 1/4 inch dowel 2 inches long, force one end into the shifter, then hammer the button on to the shifter. A round peg really will fit into a square hole if enough force is applied. Some sharpening of the dowel might be required. But if it doesn't get all the way down it won't press the white button far enough to release.
2002 Ford Escort gear shift is locked and the brake light switch is good. What else can be the problem?
There is a small plug in the console forward of the shifter. Pop that out and insert a thin screw driver, you'll feel a springy resistance. Push it down and see if you can move the shifter. If the shifter will still not move, with the car on level ground, the parking brake full on, and the wheels blocked remove the shift cable from the tranny and see if you can shift the tranny with the lever. If you can, your cable is frozen. If you can't, you're looking at tranny repair.
The ignition key is stuck in the ignition Does not feel like the ignition switch is going into the lock position This is a 06 Fusion?
remove the plastic ring around the button you push on the shifter to switch gears, the car thinks it's still in drive and won't release the key. The ring removal will release it, but the actual fix involves replacing the whole shifter...
I don't know if my escort is a escort gt does it still hold 12.8 gallons of gas its a 1997?
The 1997 Ford Escort Owner Guide shows 12.7 gallons ( U.S. )
2002 S430 Mercedes Benz will not move of out park?
Most likely cause is that you have a bad shifter module, which is the shifter itself. I've seen lots of these, try and play with the shifter to get it out of park, and make sure you have the brake pedal depressed. If you can get it out of park take it to a repair shop this way, and leave the shifter in neutral if you have to turn the car off, that way you can still start the car, and still move the shift lever to drive.
Is the ford escort 1.9L a zero tolerance motor?

How do you remove a key from the ignition of a 1997 grand am when the key is stuck in-between off and started What could be the problem?
this happened to me before. there is a little sensor in the middle console in the shifter that went bad. you need to change the shifter in the middle console. this doesn't work if you need a quick fix. theres a button in the center console you have to hit to release it. in my 98 there is a "button" under the steering column that you push up to relaese the key...it is covered by a small access "door" that takes a very small flat head screw driver to get to. the new ignition was like $300 to replace....I still press the Little button
1992 Volvo 940GL Stopped going into overdrive Changes gears 123 OK but only goes into overdrive after it warms up I changed the strainer and gasket still the same Has anyone had this problem?
There is a button on the left side of the shifter lever... Pushing this button prevents the car from shifting into fourth. Represented by an upward-facing arrow on the console lights.
How do you get the gear shift on 1998 olds intrigue to move or unlock when it is locked in park?
Remove the shifter handle. At the front of the shifter there is a small horizontal slit. If you slide a flat head screw driver into the the button and pry upwards a two pronged holder will slide out. Hard to get to when it's in park. Might need to use needle nose pliers. Once the holder is out, pull up on the shifter, wiggling and twisting it until it comes off. There will remain a silver tube that is split at the top and a yellow plastic post that slides in and out of the tube. It's very easy to push down the plastic post with your thumb and shift the car. Car has to be on, brake has to be in. This is a bad situation though. In an accident you or a passenger might be thrown onto the shifter post, complicating an otherwise survivable accident. (That's why there's such a big, padded handle on the top so people don't spear themselves on the shifter when the car rolls over.) I don't recommend driving around without a shift handle. Go straight to a junk yard or dealer and replace it. If the button is stuck in then after removing the handle you can jam a screw driver into the bottom of the shifter and free it. If the spring inside is still working you can then replace the handle before driving. If the shifter button broken I've posted an answer to "How to you remove the shift button on a 1999 Olds Intrigue?" that details how to repair one.
