The safty button on my gear shifter wont push in... I can't get my car out of park. It is a 99 cont auto-trans zetec.

This morning I started my car and let it warm up. When I got in my car to goto work, my heater was turned on. I put the car in drive, I felt a light thump, and my heater shut off. All of this happend right when I put it in drive. I put it back in park and tried turning the knob on the heater. It wont turn back on. At this time I go inside to let my mom know, when I go back out to my car I start it back up. I push down on the break, and the button on my shifter will not go in. I've tried stomping on my break, turning my wheels... everything. I looked under my hood and I dont see any belts broke or out of the ordinary.

Please help me, my car wont go in drive!

It's a fuse. Not sure which number, but it's 15 amp in the interior fuse panel under the driver's side dash.

If you look on the right side (pass.) of the center console, there is also a little hole that you stick a screwdriver into. Check the OWNER'S MANUAL for that one.

it was the fuse, i replaced it and it everything is working fine. thanks guys
