Frozen ignition switch, need to get out of Park
Re: Frozen ignition switch, need to get out of Park
I just have to get it out of park so that it can be winched onto a trailer, then I can work on it here at home.
If I am understanding you correctly, I can disable the shifter lock with the ignition in the off position? I will go through the manual and see what I find.
Thanks, Jared
Re: Frozen ignition switch, need to get out of Park
'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."

That makes no sense.....
I asked the question because I am a manual transmission driver. I have never needed to move a car equipped with an automatic transmission that wouldn't come out of park. I knew there was an ignition interlock..... I just wasn't aware that it would be so easy to defeat.
ZERACER mentioned checking the owners manual... which I did, and figured it out before you posted your sarcastic response. Further sarcasm is not required on your part.

Do not worry I will not bother with you again.
I was typing my answer before any answer had been given
I thought about answering yesterday but figured someone else would. It is much easier to ask rather than look for the answer that has been given many times before.

You have a negative attitude, what is sarcasm to you could be dry wit to another.

What you don't seem to understand is that kind of attitude is unnecessary.
Is this not an online forum where you can ask questions from members with more experience with a specific model of vehicle? So I didn't want to wade through a bunch of threads while on my phone on break at work, I had a few minutes to ask the question.... so I asked.
I don't see the need to tease or poke fun at someone..... especially after their question had already been answered by another member. You want to treat someone like an idiot.... do it somewhere else because I certainly won't put up with it.

I do not have a negative attitude, and BTW, I see alot of your "dry wit" in a lot of posts.
