Shifter Stuck in Park Wont Move Easy Fix | Most Make & Model Vehicles

I will show you what to do if your car is stuck in the park position. The shift lock override slot is the main component that controls the locking and unlocking of the shifter. Vehicles may get stuck in park if the vehicle ignition switch, the brake light/stop light switch or the shift interlock solenoid fail. When one of these components fail you may not be able to move the shifter out of park. Additionally, if your vehicle's battery is dead, the shifter will be stuck in Park.

Follow these steps to release a stuck shifter. This is for automatic vehicles only! All Make & Model Vehicles.
1) Set the emergency brake.
2) Locate the shift lock override slot located on the shifter console near the shifter lever. Normally, the slot is plugged with a small plastic cap. Remove the cap.
3) Insert a small screwdriver, nail file, key or similarly shaped object into the override slot, push down and hold.
4) While continuing to hold down the shift override mechanism, depress the brake pedal.
5) Now, grasp the shifter, push in the release button located on the shifter as you normally do and then move the shifter to the desired gear. If you've completed these steps with the engine off, move the shifter to the Neutral position to start the engine.

you clearly did not learn anything from a close call. You are still an ignorant fool.

[@iyannasapp]

Here in 2024 bc I just spent almost 500 on brakes and now this is happening after no indication of this failing. I appreciate you so freaking much sir!!!

[@pamelaadamson9891]

I want to say Thank you so much for showing this...Our car won't come out of park, my husband and a mechanic couldnt figure it out...So I am happy that we are not alone on this issue and now I can take the car get it fixed , rather having it towed adding more expenses that I couldn't afford!

[@ronniestryke570]

3 years later still helping people out. Helped me out of a very frustrating problem Thanks for the vid.

[@topkekspecc6603]

Thank you. My mom was very very paranoid wouldn’t let me do this. I snuck and fixed it. All good now. You’re amazing.

[@justdefacts]

This just sorted my Prius Compact when I was racing to pick up my daughter from her train. Saved her a long walk on cold unlit roads so thanks.

[@nob.s.top5comparablesb370]

Damn your life saver. Took wife out town for shopping and then had to get some food as the day went on. Right in front on the Montana Restaurant my car would not move out parking. Thankfully I had data on my phone. Thankfully your video was on youtube. You just save my ass from the embarrassment. And hearing "i told you so's" Thanks. Blessed!

[@stkevinkany1]

very helpful, I had the same problem while doing my uber job, and this video just saved my day and of course money. Thanks again

[@ashleymckinnon3666]

I don’t leave YT comments, but because you’re a life saver, thank you so much 🙏🏼😂

[@ladyofwisdom2]

God bless you!!! Dealing with this issue right now. Was stuck at the tire place for over a hour just now. The guys were all confused and I nearly cried. Smh. I finally got it out of park, managed to get the car home safely. My mechanic coming tomorrow. Thanks again!!! 👍🏻

[@Sldejo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! My car has been not going into park for quite some time. It never does this to my husband. He believes me but it never locks up on him. Today doing errands it locked up again. This vid saved my life and got us back home! Thanks again!

[@dzchk]

So I was getting late to work and then my gear wouldn't shift. You totally saved my day and morning. Thank you so much for posting this video. The gear shifted after I poked at the little switch in my Nissan sentra. I will have to go get it checked out this weekend. Thanks again

[@mclellanniall]

Cheers. Stuck at beach, middle nowhere. Barely enough reception to show you tube. Followed your instructions. Got out of parked that been stuck in for 45 mins. Life saver!

[@RcJrTech]

Happy to help.

[@samanthamarie4688]

Thank you! Years later and this video saved me so much frustration. Had been dealing with this issue for weeks and am glad it's finally over and I'm on time for work again. Now I can tell my mechanic what to fix. Thank you!

[@TheObserver12.]

Thank you very much. You are a lifesaver. Without this video I won't be able to drive to go to work tonight. Thanks a million!👊🏽

[@kaykirkman]

Wow thanks for this! Thought I was stuck in my garage for the day. You rock.

[@dbnarizona]

Great video! It is frightening not to get your car out of park. It happened to my 2007 Corvette. Unfortunately, GM did not think of the safety release hole. However, I learned you can put ignition in Acc. Mode without foot on brake and then move shifter to N.

[@humboldthammer]

Just as I was getting ready to rip the cover off the steering column and look for a problem with my shift-linkage . . . I decided to see if CZcams had a solution.
WOW. What a tool.

[@dmb107]

thank you for showing the complete process from start to finish & showing it on different vehicles too!

Thank you so much! This just happened to my mom's 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Your video helped me get her car out of park. It locked up and wouldnt budge. We turned the car off and on, turned the steering wheel, pumped the brakes nothing worked until I googled this issue and your video came up.

[@carolynsingleton3130]

Thanks for the tutorial.. my wife was driving her Crosstrek and 3 lights came on: ABS, Incline, and Traction. After getting home we couldn't get it out of park.. I think it's the brake light switch. This fix got me out of the driveway

[@enolwlfe]

Hey brother I just wanna say thank you for saving my Hyde I'm just a dumb country carpenter that only knows basic auto mechanic stuff this video has a wonderful positive impact on those who face this problem and I can't thank you enough. I have a brand new mitsubishi outlander fresh out the showroom 4 weeks old and I was BAFFLED that it wouldn't go into gear when I started it.
These cars today are built like garbage an made with cheap material for all the hard earned money we pay for them. Idk how auto makers can sleep at nite but that's another story. Again I am deeply appreciative I had a serious emergency an was able to drive an take care of buisness.....thank you

My 2018 Nissan NV200 SV cargo van has been doing this (Column shifter stuck in park) and today it was almost 10 min to get it to release as before maybe 30 seconds pushing on brake on and off.
Thanks so much for your video as I now see the release tab to right of shifter so I can at least get van to dealer tommorow if stuck again as Van's still under warranty.
Very annoying!! Glad I am not on a road trip.
Only 28,000 miles on van
seems like could be sylinoid
Update....
Took van to dealer and got it to stick for mechanic ha ha.
He said button stuck so that is a sylinoid and so ordered new parts all under warranty and replaced bad one . Yea

[@rdrd6179]

Thank you thank thank you !!! I was in a state of panic and said let me see if there is something on yt and there yiu were. As a single woman, I have to do mechanic work alot. Thank you
