check your brake light fuse
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
Be sure to apply the brake before trying to shift out of park. If you apply the brake and the car still won't shift out of park, do not try to force it. The problem could be a failure of the mechanism that releases the shifter.
To override the gear shift stuck in park on a 2003 Jaguar S-Type, locate the shift lock release mechanism, usually found near the gear shifter. You can use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to press the release button or slot, allowing you to move the shifter out of park. Make sure the ignition is in the "On" position while doing this. If the issue persists, it may be a sign of a malfunctioning brake switch or shifter assembly that requires professional inspection.
Stuck in park huh? Well the only real way is to change the faulty shift module, which is the shifter itself. There is a way to manually release the shift lever but it requires drilling slightly. These do not have a shift lock release, because the S class does not have a steering lock, so they lock the shifter instead.
It could be that the shift interlock is not releasing. There is an override switch underneath the steering column or the shifter console.
Ummmm, the shift cable broke or came off the lever under the dash?
There is a plastic rod inside of the shifter arm, it unlocks the shifter from the park position when the button on the shifter handle is pressed. So, press in on the shifter button and pull the shift handle straight UP (you might have to pull hard). You should be able to remove the broken pieces of the plastic rod with some wire. You might have to go to a junk yard for a replacement.
Maybe brake shift cable from brake to gear shifter?
why is my 2006 Nissan altima gear shift stuck in park
If the pathfinder is a model with a park lock, then pump the brakes and listen for the shift solenoid to click. The solenoid is under the plastic cover around the shifter, and has probably gone bad.
If it is stuck in park it is most likely the brake lock switch on most cars there's a cable and switch at the shifter from the brake pedal when you push on the brake pedal the switch pulls out and unlocks the shifter so you can shift the car out of park. Some cars have a little slot by the shifter where you can insert a key to unlock the shifter.
If by some chance you are asking " why is my shifter stuck in park and you cannot shift out of park " then just turn the key to the first notch, no ign. lights, then put the shifter in neutral, start the car and drive to your local garage. They can fix it for you.
