Great information! It is important to know as much about what's wrong as you can share. If the neither the brake lights nor the shift interlock solenoid are getting power (they share the brake light switch) you need to find out why. If the fuses are good, you may have just a bad switch or connection. If a fuse is blown, you need to find the short: possibly a faulty shift interlock actuator or faulty brake lamp circuit. |

IF you've got someone there to help you that is slightly mechanically inclined, once the car is started, disconnect the shift cable at the transmission and manually shift it into gear. Drive to the shop of your choice and fully set the park brake and turn the car off. I cannot stress this enough: Make certain that you tell whoever is going to work on your vehicle that the shifter is disconnected. |
