Stuck in Park. It's an E4OD trans in a 91 f150. Fluid was checked, no abs light on or check engine light, did notice some "clinking" from the trans though. was wondering if the issue would be inside the steering column or the trans itself. Another note is that the ignition is messed up on the truck and I've been starting it with pliers for a few months now. PLEASE HELP!!!
Some year models have a electric lock on the brake pedal lever under the dash. Usually you can check it by pressing the brake pedal and observing the brake lights. If you lose this signal, the shift lever will not move from Park.
There can also be a shift rod inside the steering column which is linked to the ignition key. The shift rod can also be affected by the brake pedal switch failing to release the selector from Park. All 3 parts, ignition shift rod, brake pedal switch, and transmission release are adjusted together. Meaning if 1 does not work, the other 2 can be affected.

I had the same problem and once I wiggled the shifter enough to get it out of park then the key stuck in the ignition started.

sounds like your brake/shift interlock solenoid is not releasing.
Your owner manual will tell you how to bypass in emergency.
Check your fuse first. fuse panel on instrument panel.
Please rate as fixed if this helps.
Fuse 23 - 1 5 amp
Fuse 34 - 7 1/2 amp
check enigne light not related.
----------------------------------------------------
The selector lever lock can be moved mechanically out of position ”P" when for example the battery is disconnected or completely discharged.
Using a ball point pen or similar item as an unlocking lever, push forward and hold in position.
Move the selector lever out of position "P".
NOTE: If the selector lever is moved back to ”P" it is re-locked.
Selector Lever Lock
SOURCE: over drive light on shifter blinks and check engine light is lit.
You need to have it scanned for codes. The flashing overdrive light means it has trouble codes that pertain to the transmission.
SOURCE: have no brake lights i put in new brake light switch and nothing
your brake lights also run through the turn signal switch, if the shifter was on the column and you pulled the steering wheel off
Also
i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These
are direct links with appropriate solutions to
the specific problems of gear ****.
