Is the vehicle parked on a hill? Sometimes when parking on a hill, if the park position has been selected before the parking brake is applied the weight of the vehicle resting on the gear box locks it in park. Pull brake on and jack up one of the rear wheels and see if that helps. Also try putting foot on footbrake if vehicle fitted with safety lock.

How do you remove shifter knob on Ford Ranger?

I have a 1992 Ford ranger with a manual transmission. A while back, my truck's shifter knob just came loose.It's all plastic, and I think it was just held on by pressure. I don't know what type your truck's shifter knob would be, since I really haven't driven any newer rangers.

In ROBLOX how do you copy a place from another person?

The only way to copy another person's place would be to build it from scratch, unless they have it not copy locked. If the place is not copy locked, simply play solo on the place, and click the save button in the upper left to save the place to your computer.

What would cause shifter to stay locked on ford econoline van?

This happened once to my van. There is a pin inside the transmission that locks the wheels when the shifter is in "Park". That pin had broken off and was bouncing around inside the transmission and eventually jammed it so that the shifter was stuck in "Drive". I had the get my transmission rebuilt. I hope yours is a simpler problem. Perhaps there is a simple problem with the linkage between the steering column and the outside of the transmission.


Why would the ignition switch be locked on my Dodge Grand Caravan?

Make sure the shifter handle is fully engaged in park. On my '92 caravan, I have to push the shifter up and forward again after putting it in park, to make sure it's fully in park. My ignition switch won't turn off all the way or door locks work until I do that. Also, you might have a loose shifter mechanism...jiggle it while turning the ignition switch at the same time.

Does an 1987 Ford Ranger 4x4 have fuses for the 4x4 just stopped working and can't find out why?

Make sure the hubs are locked in, if they are manual hubs, be sure they are fully locked, if your transfer case is electronic I would check the fuse for it. Make sure you are getting power through the wires at the transfer case.
