Dodge Magnum

If your 2005 Dodge Magnum won't shift out of park, it could be due to a faulty brake light switch, which prevents the shift interlock system from engaging. Check the brake lights; if they don't work when you press the pedal, the switch may need replacement. Additionally, inspect the gear selector and ensure that the ignition is in the "On" position, as the car must be in this state to shift out of park. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be best to consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.

To remove the rear bumper on a Dodge Magnum, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a flat surface. Begin by removing any screws or bolts located in the wheel wells and underneath the bumper, typically found near the rear fender and the rear frame. Next, detach any clips or fasteners holding the bumper in place, and carefully pull the bumper away from the car, starting from one side. Finally, disconnect any electrical connections for lights if applicable before fully removing the bumper.
