Hello Art, I have the shift lock problem happening after a brake light failure, which has been fixed. The right rear bulb was out and I discovered while putting in the new bulb and twisting the bulb holder into the PCB, that the holders tab was slightly touching the outside area ground and shorting out the fuse #7. Once I cleaned this up the bulb replacement was fine.
However, the shift wont release from park and it will not release EVEN WHEN DEPRESSING the release lever. I can hear the click of the relay or solenoid when depressing the brake peddle as the car is running but will not release. Can you send me to the best link of troubleshooting or provide any further guidance here? Also I see that the bulb out indicater is coming on again when the brake peddle is depressed, but the brake lights are all working. The only bulb out is the high beam for the left head light. But I don"t think that has any relation. Your help is worth more than I can thank you for! Thanks JW
