To bypass the shift lock release on a 2004 Pontiac Aztek, locate the shift lock override slot, which is typically found near the gear shift lever. Insert a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool into this slot to manually release the lock. Ensure the ignition is in the "On" position and the brake pedal is depressed while performing this action. However, it's advisable to address any underlying issues with the shift lock system rather than relying on bypass methods.
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.
To override the shift lock on a Toyota Sienna, locate the shift lock release slot, which is usually found near the gear shifter.

Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle model.
The Shift Lock bypass procedure for a Ford F-250 typically involves pressing the brake pedal and locating the Shift Lock Override slot, usually found near the gear shift. Insert a small tool, such as a flathead screwdriver, into the slot to manually release the shift lock. This allows you to shift the transmission out of "Park." Always ensure the brake is applied while performing this procedure for safety.
From the owner's manual 2001 Honda Odyssey: 1. Set the Parking brake. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Place a cloth on the edge of the shift lock release slot cover on the steering column. Remove the cover by carefully prying on the edge with a small flat-tipped screwdriver. 4. Insert the key in the Shift Lock Release slot. 5. Push down on the key while you pull the shift lever towards you and move it out of Park to Neutral. 6. Remove the key from the Shift Lock Release slot, then install a new cover. Depress the brake pedal and restart engine. If you need to use the Shift Lock Release, it means your vehicle is developing a problem. Have the vehicle checked by Honda.

That clicking noise you hear when you press and release the brake pedal is the "Shift Lock Solenoid" engaging and disengageing. The shift lock solenoid is located below the center console directly underneath the gear shift lever. That sound is normal.
