Shift Linkage Lock-out

[SloTour]

95 GL ATX

The lock-out engage for pressing the brake pedal to put the car in drive does not activate the solenoid. I have replaced the solenoid and now today I have replaced both switches at the pedal. I can't seem to get power to the solenoid.

I have it attached to the indicator light, so now I just flip to parking lights to pull outta park then turn them off.

It's not getting any voltage. What other failure points to the lock-out setup do I need to check?

Your brake lights are probably not working either.

Change Fuse 24 - 15amps - Light Blue - Brake lights.

Lights are working properly.

If the brake lights are working, then the wiring from Fuse 24 to the shift lock-out solenoid is suspect.

Can the wiring just "go bad"?

Can I still have that performed?

 

[Tony2005]

Yes, you can but you have to pay as you are past the "warranty" period.

 

[SloTour]

How much are we talking to "pay"?

 

[Tony2005]

About $2,500.
