2006 Ford F150: Will Not Shift out Of Park?

The Vehicle not shifting to drive or reverse mode.
The Gear shifter stuck in park mode.

When the shifter will not shift from Park,

First- Check your rear brake lights to see if they are working when you step on the brake pedal.
If the brake lights are NOT working, check your fuses.
If the fuses are good, and still no brake lights, then the problem will be the Stop Lamp Switch.

The Stop Lamp switch is located at the top of the brake pedal arm.

Working of Stop Lamp switch:----
This switch controls the rear brake lights, and also sends a signal to the Shift Interlock, telling it to release when the brake pedal is depressed.

Carefully inspect the electrical connector for any loose, broken or damaged wires. If the visual inspection checks ok, replacing the switch will solve the problem.

See this help diagrams shown below for exact part location:-----

brake light switch

NOW think other way.

If the brake lights ARE working, then the problem is going to be in the Shift Interlock system. Most commonly, the Interlock Solenoid. The interlock solenois is located on the steering column, behind the steering wheel and clockspring assembly. Again, inspect the electrical connector for any damaged or loose wires. If the visual inspection checks ok, suspect a faulty Interlock Solenoid.

See the diagram showing the shift interlock solenoid

In this types of problems there aren't many other items involved in the Interlock System. It's the brake light switch, to the shift interlock solenoid, which releases the lock on the shift cable. Ford does not provide an "over-ride" procedure, however, on "SOME" models, turning the key to "ACC" and then shifting to Neutral does the trick. Also, sometimes, the shifter is just "hard" to shift from park due to an incline. Try to have someone push the vehcile a bit, and relieve some pressure on the rear wheels, and then try to shift. BUT If the Interlock solenoid is the culprit, then, it is what has to be replaced.

This details will help.
Thanks.

Nissan Sentra stuck in park?

This problem is noticed on many car models.in this particular case the problem is noticed on 2007 nissan Sentra car model.
The car is stuck in park mode and will not shift to any other gears.

As per this problem,the troubleshooting is as follows :----

Press the brake pedal and see,do the brake lights come ON,when brake pedal is depressed with car turned ON.
If brake lights are not coming on,then issue is with brake light switch,replace it to solve the problem.

But if brake lights come ON,when brake pedal is depressed then,the problem is likely the park position switch inside the shifter. It may be out of sync. There is a manual overide button for the shifter, you can try to push that and see if it will then shift out of park.
Here is a diagram of it's location.
Take it out of park, then put it back in and hopefully everything will return to normal. At the very least you can get the car out of park and drive it.

But if the same problem returns again then transmission inspection is required.Including shifter assembly and clutch components.

This will help.
Thanks.

2002 nissan sentra will not go out of park mode?

The Nissan stuck in park mode or takes long time to come out of park mode.Then is transmission related issue.

Basically in this cases the transmission has to be inspected.It can be done at proper transmission repair service shop or at Nissan dealership.

But before that first inspect that transmission fluid level is not low or the fluid is not leaking.
Also try shifting between the different gears in order to coax the transmission to engage with the gear box.

Try and confirm this following things are not causing the problem.

Inspect the parking brakes.Are the engaged or released.Sometimes it's easy to forget that your emergency brake is on.

In this conditions when you press the gas pedal,you will notice a gentle push pull,the vehicle gets a jerk or bump.

If your transmission fluid is not replaced regularly on time as per its service maintenance required,then this can also cause the problem.

To see exact fluid level in your Nissan. Turn on the car and allow it to warm up for few minutes.Then remove the transmission dipstick and see the fluid level mark on dipstick.This will help you to know,how much fluid is there.

But if the fluid level is checked ok and its not leaking and parking brake is not left ON.Then the clutch needs to be inspected.To confirm this press the clutch and see if it remains on the floor or comes up.If it remains on the floor even after you release the clutch pedal,then its clutch problem, the release bearing or clutch fork is broken or got very old causing the problem.

Or its the issue of air in the hydraulic system.If the air is not bleeding out then this can cause the problem.

Other possibilities can be issue with clutch disc,pressure plate and shift lever assembly.

This has to be inspected.

This details will help.

Thanks.
