SOURCE: no brakes after changing brake caliper & bleeding system

Sounds like you still have air in your brake lines. Make sure all your brake lines are tight. Then bleed again. Bleed the trouble side first, meaning right side, then go to front left, back left then back right, make sure that your brake fluid is also full

SOURCE: Battery dead, hood won't open. Can not put it in

You should have a little slot, right next to your shifter it maybe covered up, but you can just pop it off with a flat head screwdriver...It should be somewhere by the (P) for park..Once you get that off, you should be able to stick a key or a skinny object in there, and push down on the button..which is a shift lock release button...Once you push that down, you can remove the shifter out of park....Now as far as your hood not opening...what happen did you break the cable? But you can go under the hood, from beneath the car, and pop the latch..It's a little difficult, but it's doauble....Goodluck...

Why can't I take out of park?
Brake switch is bad. Check to see if you have brake lights. Brake switch is under the dash and it touches the brake arm.

Car wont shift out of park
Car wont shift out of park, the most common reason for this is the brake light switch may be bad. have someone look at the brake lights as you step on the brake and see if they are working. the shifter release works off the power for the brake lights. if the brake light dont work then first check the fuses , if the fuses are good then you will need to check for power at the switch which is located at the top of brake pedal bracket, there will be wires connected to switch, the way it works is one wire will have power at all times and then when the brake pedal is pushed the power will flow through the switch to brake lights and also to shifter release, now if the power is not going through switch then replace the switch. another setup used is the tps sensor, im not sure but this year may use this setup, a bad throtle postion sensor will cause this problem as it thinks the gas pedal is pushed. this is a safety thing if the tps is out of range it will not allow the shifter to be moved, this would need to be checked with a scan tool to check the readings.

  • GEAR SELECTOR LEVER - INCREASED EFFORT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK
Publication Date: November 1, 2004
FORD: 2002-2005 Explorer, Mountaineer ISSUE: Some 2002-2005 Explorer 4dr/Mountaineer vehicles, may require a greater effort to move the gear selector lever (shift lever) from drive to park. This may be due to a time delay with the brake shift interlock (BSI) pin retraction.
ACTION: To service, replace the BSI switch. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
  1. Remove the two (2) fasteners supporting the instrument panel knee bolster from below the steering column and remove the cover (Figure 1).

    tb7934b.gif
    Figure 1 - Article 04-22-12

  2. Remove the three (3) fasteners supporting the steering column lower shroud and remove the cover (Figure 2).

    tb7935b.gif
    Figure 2 - Article 04-22-12

  3. Remove the three (3) wiring bundle carrier fasteners from the bottom of the steering column to allow movement while removing the BSI switch. It may be necessary to release the connectors from the multifunction switch (Figure 3).

    tb7936b.gif
    Figure 3 - Article 04-22-12

  4. Remove the BSI fasteners (T-30 on the side and T-20 on the bottom) (Figure 4).

    tb7938a.gif
    Figure 4 - Article 04-22-12

  5. Pull the BSI tab on the bottom of the column downward to help free the BSI from the column housing.
  6. Break the two (2) side tabs off the BSI by the white wiring connector (Figure 5).

    tb7940a.gif
    Figure 5 - Article 04-22-12

  7. Push the locking tab on the white connector towards the wiring to release the connector from the BSI. Be careful not to damage the connector or wiring. If the connector does not free easily, a very small flat screwdriver may be used to help lift the locking tab (Figure 6).

    tb7941a.gif
    Figure 6 - Article 04-22-12

  8. Connect the wiring to the new BSI. Ensure all clips are fully engaged to prevent the connector from pulling free.
  9. Reinstall the BSI onto the steering column and reinstall fasteners (Figure 7).

    tb7942a.gif
    Figure 7 - Article 04-22-12

  10. Check BSI function. With the key in the accessories or run position, press the brake pedal. The BSI pin should retract on brake application, and spring up one (1) second after releasing the brake pedal. Repeat several times.
  11. Reinstall fasteners to connect wiring bundle carrier to the steering column. Make sure all connections to the multifunction switch unit are secured properly.
  12. Reassemble steering column in reverse order. Ensure rubber gap hider around shift lever is properly seated on the shroud.
  13. Cycle the shift lever from park to drive and drive back to park several times to verify improved shift effort.

2000 Taurus starts just fine. Transmission stuck in park. Cannot shift. I do have foot on brakes.
When you push on the brake pedal with the ignition key in the run position, do you here or feel a clicking noise at the shifter?

There are also (2) fuses in the interior fuse box ( #17 and #32) that must be checked to make sure they are not blown. If the fuses are good, I would suspect either the brake switch or shift interlock solenoid.

The fuse supplies ignition voltage to the brake switch, when the brake is applied, the switch closes and voltage travels to the shift interlock solenoid. The solenoid is activated and the shift lever is unlocked.

So, it may be one of several things causing the problem.
1) blown fuse.
2) brake switch defective
3) shift inter lock solenoid defective.
4) wiring harness or connector problem.

1995 Buick Park Ave. Brake light remains ON and chimes on driving
The problem is the car think the park brake is on (intermittently). I would check the park brake switch, perhaps it's loose, or perhaps the park brake is pushed down to the first "click" spot. Also check the wiring connection to the switch, and the wiring nearby. Good luck!
