Best Answer

The ability to shift out of Park is controlled by a Shiftlock Release micro-switch. You must have the key turned to acc or run position and step on the brake pedal to actuate the switch releasing the shift lock. Any failure of the electrical circuit to the micro-switch or a failure of the switch itself will prevent shifting from the Park position. It could also be caused by a weak or dead battery.

There is a manual release button just ahead of and to the right of the shift lever. Press and hold the release button and then press the button on the shift lever to move the lever out of the Park position.
