    How do you put it in neutral if it's stuck in park? I don't quite understand this.

    . Check all under dash and under hood fuses with a test light or multimeter.

    . Check the brake light switch, which is located above the brake pedal. Try spraying it with WD-40 and working the switch--adjust or replace, if necessary.

    . Focus on the Transmission Range Sensor, if the problem persists. It may need adjusting (special tool) or replacing.
