How do i remove the shift cablw without a key

Brake-shift interlock The brake-shift interlock feature prevents you from shifting from P(Park) unless the brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition in the On position). If you cannot move the gearshift out of P(Park) with the brake pedal depressed: 1. Turn ignition key to Off. 2. Apply the parking brake. 3. Turn ignition key to Lock and remove the key. 4. Re-insert the ignition key and turn it to Off. 5. Shift the transmission to N(Neutral). 6. Start the vehicle. If you need to use the above procedure, it is possible that a fuse has blown and your brakelamps may not be functioning. Refer to the Roadside emergencies chapter for instructions on replacing fuses.

The shifter linkage needs to be adjusted, it's your only answer to your problem. With the transmission in park, adjust the linkage to push the shift lever up to the park position. Then the key can be removed. This interlock is made this way to keep you from moving the shifter without first turning the key from lock position. Just a theft deterrent.

is this a console shift? if so its most likely not getting the signal that its in park. There is a switch on the shifter that wont the key be removed without the vehicle being in park.

Do the brake lights work ?

There should be a cable that goes from the key lock to the shifter. That cable may be broken. There should also be a lock solenoid that requires you to push on the brake pedal to get the shifter out of park.
You would need to disassemble the console to get access to the shifter and then inspect these components.

your interlocker may not be run by the pedal brake but by the ignition switch instead, thats what it sound to me..

i believe the cable you are you refereeing to is for the gear shift it purpose is not allow key to be removed if the car not in park and also prevents shifting out park without ignition in on postion

We had this problem on 06 and it is the shift button that doesn't pop out. You may be able to pull it out so you can remove the key for now. We had ours fixed under warranty (replaced)

its the cable part, its it steering column and hooks into igniton switch , remove covers on column.youll see a ccable going into switch take apart and see if key removes. alot of times ignition breaks inside. good luck.
