Are you putting your foot on the brake ?
how to change shift cable on 04 trailblazer
its broken !! take it to a mechanic
Align the shift indicator orreplace it. Your problem is strictly column mechanical.
shift lock is malfunctioning. you can bypass it there is a little "switch" on the side of your shifter for this purpose. that should help temporarily i believe there is a sensor to tell it when to shift out of park and that when this malfunctions you're stuck in park
SOMETIMES IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TRY JIGGERING THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND.
Insert the key like usual and press the brake before shifting out of park and the shift into neutral like usual. You must count the shift positions if its a digi displayed shift pattern.
this happened to my 2006 Toyota highlander...look under hood...a piece of foam was stuck up under parking brake so it couldn't shift into park
The shift lever cable may be damaged or out of adjustment.
Trade it on a more reliable built auto! My Mercedes has 300 + thousand miles with no trouble. Hope this helps.
Hold your brake down while doing so.
Check the fuses- Shift interlock is the same circuit as brake lights. As a temporary measure - try to turn the key to 1st (unlock) position shift to neutral to start vehicle and then shift to Drive.
