2002 ford windstar won't go into gear?
if the shifter does not move the shift interlock may be bad
2002 Ford Escort gear shift is locked and the brake light switch is good. What else can be the problem?
There is a small plug in the console forward of the shifter. Pop that out and insert a thin screw driver, you'll feel a springy resistance. Push it down and see if you can move the shifter. If the shifter will still not move, with the car on level ground, the parking brake full on, and the wheels blocked remove the shift cable from the tranny and see if you can shift the tranny with the lever. If you can, your cable is frozen. If you can't, you're looking at tranny repair.

How do you make the shifter move on a 1999 escort zx2 if the button is pushed in and still won't move?
Check to make sure that the brake lights are working - shift interlock and brake lights are a common circuit. Check stop light fuse If the engine is off, there is a small square cap next to shifter. Remove cap and use a screw driver to depress button inside hole where cap was removed. This will unlock the shifter.
2002 S430 Mercedes Benz will not move of out park?
Most likely cause is that you have a bad shifter module, which is the shifter itself. I've seen lots of these, try and play with the shifter to get it out of park, and make sure you have the brake pedal depressed. If you can get it out of park take it to a repair shop this way, and leave the shifter in neutral if you have to turn the car off, that way you can still start the car, and still move the shift lever to drive.

Why does 2002 Pathfinder shifter stay stuck in the park position?
Shifter Assy has a cover with just clips. stick a flat screw driver and pop it open. remove the ashtray wire and look on the passender side of the shifter their is a small bar that when you push the button INN on the shifter moves. usually this small rod (Bar) will move to the driver side move it left and right to find the correct possition and release the shiter. Eventuly you will have to replace the whole shifter Assy.
