if you dont have a slot on console you have to pop remove the center console plate on top there a release under there
Make sure your brake lites work.If they dont replace brake lite switch
I had this problem and it turned out to be a dirty park switch located in the console shift (automatic), that releases the ignition in park. The mech cleaned it and the problem never returned.
its beside the shifter under the console. if your car is stuck in park, take off the console, and pull the shift solenoid out or engage it and then zip tie it to a bracket that doesn't move. and it will work from now on.
It could be that the shift interlock is not releasing. There is an override switch underneath the steering column or the shifter console.
manual or automatic? if a manual a broken or damaged shift fork could be the issue or a clutch not releasing, running or not when trying to shift? if it's automatic, a shift solenoid or a transmission servo may be sticking or mechanical damage may be present such as a clutch pack or drum damage.
There is a plastic piece inside the gear shift console that breaks and makes it impossible to move out of park without special effort. Do not try to force the gear shift or you will just make things worse.
The automatic Toyota may be stuck in park because of transmission problems. The transmission may be jammed or stuck in that gear.
why is my 2006 Nissan altima gear shift stuck in park
I have a 99 an on the shift console there's a small plastic cap at top rt above "P" pull it off. It's a pretty small opening but I stuck drinking straw in an pressed button to unlock. It needs fixed but until u can it will keep u from being stuck.
The shift interlock solenoid switch has gone out on it. There should be a little hole in the console you can stick a small screwdriver into to allow you to shift out of park and start the car. Another reason it might not shft out of park is that your brake lights don't work. If not check the fuse and switch at the pedal.
There may be a place near the gear shift to insert a screwdriver and 'unlock' the gears manually. Possibly a blown fuse created the problem.
Depends on if it's a standard or automatic, If it's an automatic the shift linkage may have slipped forcing it to be stuck in reverse. Also causing it not to start, since cars are only supposed to start in neutral and park.
