could not shift the car out of park and into drive
Question:
I have a 2001 ford Taurus yesterday we could not shift the car out of park and into drive, I hade to get a towed, can you give me an I idea what could cause this.
Answer:
The most likely cause is a faulty brake light switch. I can send you some info on testing but since you do not have the vehicle in front of you it will not help. You would need to check for power at both sides of the switch on the brake pedal bracket with the pedal pused down. If you only had power at one side then you have a bad switch. If it’s the switch it’s a fairly cheap repair. I have seen the switch connectors burn up too.
