Help!!
Transmission is stuck in Park and lever will not move. Car starts just fine and I have foot on brake.

 

With a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system,
the selector lever could remain locked in the PARK position.
To unlock the selector lever manually, insert the end of
the multipurpose tool from the glove box (or ball point
pen) into the covered opening below the position “D” of
the shift pattern. While pushing the tool down, move the
selector lever out of the PARK position. After removal of
the tool from the opening, the cover will not close fully.
Only after moving the selector lever to the “D+” and
“D-” positions does the cover return to its closed position.

If you need a manual or other documentation.

Check and see if your brake lights are working..... if not, its the brake lamp switch.
~edit~ We replace atleast 1 a day at work.

 

Sorry to hear about the transmission.

I didn't expect this to be about a car problem. Great headline! Thanks for the laugh.

 

The owners manual explains what to do.
There is a little hole at the back of the shift gate (on Console)
If your Crossfire has a strange wrench in the glove box the somewhat pointed end is for that very situation. slides in the little trap door and unlocks the shifter.

 

Thanks for the fast responses and help with the tranny shifter problem.

For what it's worth, I had the same problem on my SRT6 due to the battery losing it's charge over the winter. I was hoping to slide it into neutral and push it out of storage so I could jumpstart it. It did not cooperate. I had to drag a battery booster into the storage cubicle and jump it. Another reason I prefer manual transmissions.

 

Guys I'm having this same problem even after I use the tool what is it and what is the cost to repair it?

 

Did you charge the battery?

ImportLabSRT where is this switch located and do you have an idea on cost. Sounds like something for the road trip kit along with other essentials.

Thanks.

I'm a bit dim so let's have some answers.
Is the car capable of starting?
The 'Tool' does not allow the shift lever to move, yes or no?

 

Agree with the electrical comments - I had a new Beetle that did this - The car would shift into gear, etc. if it wasn't running, but only then - you couldn't start it and put it in gear. It was a simple fuse.
