Callao55 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I have a 2013 transit connect, I've been overseas so the car sat for a few months, now it won't shift out of park like the solinoid or ground that locks it in park is stuck any help here?

PhotoAl Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've had other cars where the solenoid that locks it in park was sticking or the switch on the brake pedal was not getting the signal to the solenoid. It was either the Smart car or one of the VW's. I wound up not replacing anything but working with one of the parts and it was sticking (now isn't that a nice description kind of like "I fiddled with it and it worked)!

mrtn Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 My late Taurus would not shift out of park if two of the three brake lights were out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
