The shifter won't come out of park without using the shift lock release button because this feature is designed as a safety mechanism. It prevents accidental movement of the gear shifter, ensuring that the vehicle does not unintentionally roll or move while parked. The shift lock system typically requires the brake pedal to be engaged, allowing the driver to safely shift from park to another gear when necessary. If the system is malfunctioning, it may need inspection or repair.
The shift lock release is usually a button on the side of a shifter. The shift lock release button needs to be pushed in before the car can be moved from Park to another gear.

on the shifter the left hand side just under the shift button.
If the vehicle has a floor shifter, there should be a little button next the shifter. It is a little hole, and next to it should say "Shift Lock Release" If that is there, then it could be a good deal. You would just have to always press in that button to shift out of park though. If you can't find the button, don't buy it.
Pull up the shift boot, on the right rear of the shifter body is a button that you press in and hold while you shift into gear.
Remove shift release button off the top of the shifter, inside there is a small snap ring. Remove the snap ring and lift the shifter knob off.
Year, make,model, engine size & symptoms are always a help. Without that guesses are the best you can get. It may be the shifter interlock. There may be a shifter release button in the shifter area or some information in your owners manual. Possibly the brake pedal shift release that lets the shifter only move if the pedal has been depressed. If that's not a solution you're going to have to get into the release and see what the problem is.
If you can run the shifter down through the positions it may have broken loose at the transmission . If the shifter doesn't move at all it may be a problem in the steering column < unless it is a floor shifter >. If it is a floor shift model I'd start by checking the shifter release button to see if it is broken.
The shifter release bypass button on a 2006 Cadillac DTS is typically located on the front side of the gear shift assembly. You may need to remove a small cover or panel to access it. This button allows you to manually shift the gear lever out of park if the vehicle's battery is dead or if there is an issue with the shift interlock system. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
