linkage to transmission poped out!
the vehicle is stuck in park how do i get it out?
I have a 1997 awd v8 ford explorer. It gets stuck in park and is very hard to get unjammed.
Check the fuses. If the brake light fuse blows it won't come out of park.
If a Ford Focus is stuck in park, you should first check to make sure the gear is not stuck. You also need to make sure you have your foot on the brake in order to move it out of park.
Estimated Cost for 2004 TAURUS is $380. that is from Hines Park Ford.
1996-1999 Taurus Sable:Fuse #5 is for the "Brake shift interlock".I *think* that's the one.The brake switch down on the brake pedal is also a factor in getting stuck in park. See "Related Questions" below for more about that too.
Possibly the brake light switch is bad. I had a recall on a Ford Taurus that spoke of this problem. The brake light switch releases a solenoid that holds the shifter in park.
A Ford F-150 will often be stuck in park if the brake interlock switch is defective. It prevents the vehicle from shifting unless it detects the brake is being held.
Insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the on position, and move the steering wheel left and right while applying pressure to the sfift lever. The system has a way on locking up the steering wheel and keeping the shift lever lock in park.
Older Fords can present many interesting challenges. When my '97 Taurus got stuck in park, my boyfriend manipulated the wires between the steering (multifunction) column and it was able to come out of park. As he recommended, I went to my local car repair and had them replace the "shift cable" and that fixed the problem. Evidently there was a break in one of the wires of this cable. A Virginia Driver.
You need to start the car, put your foot on the brake pedal, and then you can get outta PARK!!
