Answer

Most vehicles now have a solenoid that holds the transmission in park until the key is on AND brake pedal is pushed. They don't want the vehicle to accidentally get knocked into gear, like maybe by a kid who is playing in the front seat while mommy or daddy are out of the vehicle.

if your brake lites don't work the solenoid won't activate and release the park lock

what if that doesent work

1995 Chevy Tahoe rear door is stuck. Can you tell me how to open it?

i have a 95 Tahoe also (2 door), and the bar that pulls the latch from the inside is prone to getting stretched out- if you remove the door panel and tighten the bar from the interior door handle to the latch ( i just put a kink in mine), then it is able to unlatch the door again- a bit of a "trick" fix, but it works nonetheless- a lot better than paying through the nose for shop work and just as effective; no more stuck passengers=)

Take the filter off and have a good look at the mounting flange. Could be an old gasket is stuck up there, or some other debris, or maybe the two bolts that hold the adapter are loose.
