If you have a console shift then there are 4 screws that holds the polished panel on. Remove them and there are 2 more that hold the shift panel in. turn it upside down and disconnect it.
You simply unscrew the bottom "ring" of the shift knob and then lift the knob portion upwards.
Last year when I aksed the Toyota dealership how to replace the shift panel lights in my Echo, they said you had to remove the whole shift panel and it would cost over $100 for labor costs. :(
First of all you need to remove panel around shift knob. Then remove panel around the radio. There is no screws, only simple pins. Use screwdriver from plastic or another suitable tool.
the shifter lock need to be lubed to override the shift lock press hard on the brake and move shift over to unlock and pull down this will override it but not fix it remove shift covers and lube shift lock and should be fine
To remove the steering column in a 1986 Chevy Celebrity: 1. Remove the trim panel under the steering column. 2. Remove the noise panel. 3. If the car has column shift remove the gear indicator from the shift bowl. 4. Unplug electrical connectors. 5. Remove the four bolts that hold the steering column up. 6. At this point the steering column should pull out.
If you remove the access panel you will see where the shifter is bolted to the top of the trans, remove the 4 bolts holding it on and it will pull straight up and out.
The switch is located inside of the frame, underneath the panel where the shift lever comes up. Remove the knob on the shift lever and remove 2 screws, and remove the plate. The switch is mounted below the Deck Lowering Lever.
If your Mercedes won't shift out of park, you might have an issue with the brake sensor or the brake itself. The brake must be fully depressed in order to shift from park to drive or reverse.

Passenger side right foot panel. Remove the panel and it is behind it. There is also one between the driver and passenger under the radio area behind the gear shift. This is for transmission tho I was told.
