You need to have it scanned to see what code turned on the light. Check your gas cap, make sure it is tight.

SOURCE: 97 mustang won't come out of park

Is the steering wheel turned? If so this would cause the shifter to stay in Park and not come out. Turn wheel as far as it will go and turn key on put foot on brake and tire. If not the neutral park swith on trans might be bad.

SOURCE: looking for the engine serial number location on

Here is Half an answer!! The engine serial number is located on the top surface of the engine block... near the crankcase breather pipe, front-left side of the car.
Except for the information that is provided on the vehicle certification label, I am not aware of "matching numbers" on a 6 cylinder Mustang...

SOURCE: how remove 1966 Ford Mustang 200 cu.in 6-cyl. crankshaft pulley

Hi,
You can remove that center bolt easily with an impact gun. It has normal threads on it. An impact gun will prove to be an affordable tool that you will use again. You can get an electric one from Harbor Freight. They make the job of removing tough bolts much easier. If the engine is in the car, you might not have enough room. You can use a ratchet and if the engine is turning, you can hold the pulley with another tool sold at Harbor Freight called a rubber strap wrench.

Testimonial: "Will report again when the job is done. Thanks for this info: 1) Center bolt is normal thread 2) Tools can be pruchased at Harbor Freight"

95 mustang GT I have Jam Shifter in Park to get it to start

You need to get underneath it to adjust the linkage, which means that you have to find some way to get it in the air some distance, and absolutely impossible for it to fall on you. Lots of people die every year when cars fall on them. When it's raised, take at least two spare wheels (with or without tires) underneath with you - they MUST be at least as thick as your head and your chest. If the car falls, it'll fall farther than you expect it to because its springs will compress for a moment. DO NOT DIE DOING THIS.

Find the transmission. Have someone move the shifter back & forth while you watch underneath to locate the linkage where it connects to the transmission. You'll see an adjustable joint there where you can loosen something (probably a single bolt) and slide one piece of linkage in relation to the other piece. Loosen that bolt and have your helper shift into Park. Jiggle the linkage a little to be sure it's in its internal detent, then tighten that bolt again. Test BEFORE you lower the car.

Gearshift sticks in park 2004 gt mustang 40th annv

Sounds like the interlock is out of adjustment. There is a switch on the brake pedal lever which sends a signal to release the shifter by reading the brake light signal. Often this switch gets hit by the Drivers feet and has either moved or broken. Your shifter will act up if the Ignition switch rod has slipped out of adjustment or if the ignition switch has slipped on its mount on the steering column.

2004 FX4 will not shift out of park.. This problem has been on going for about 6 months but hasnt been a terrible problem until recently.. I start engine, apply brake, and attempt to shift console shifter...

Sounds like you transmission linkage is out of adjustment. It also ties in with the mechanical release of the brake that allows either starting/shifting only when the brake pedal is depressed.
You may be able to inspect by hoisting up up on jack-stands or ramps and checking the linkage. It has to have moved and/or come loose.

My 66 mustang automatic will not shift into park or reverse

You have ti figure out if the problen is in the transmission or external linkage. This is how you do that. Block the rear wheel and apply the park brake. Disconnect the shifter linkage from the transmission. The shifter should detent in 6 different places, if it does not you have an internal trans issue that should be able to fix by tightening a nut, If it does then you have something broken or most like loose in the linkage.

2004 Mustang gets locked in Park

The brake pedal switch will casue both these issues. Are you sure the switch is good? You can test it with a multimeter. Remove the switch. When it's removed the switch will be in the closed position. When you adjust it, you want to hear the switch click right after you depress the pedal. Adjust it so the switch doesn't click until you begin pressing the pedal. Good luck.

Engine will not turn over or start when in park with key on.

You linkage is working properly it sounds like, especially if the indicator for "D, R, N", etc are lining up. However the linkage or the neutral safety switch may need to be adjusted. More than likely, it's your neutral safety switch.

The brake pedal release has nothing to do with the neutral safety switch when switching gears.

The brake pedal release is just a safety to prevent you from pushing the gear shifter accidentally. Actually, you should be able to start the truck without holding the brakes.

If the neutral safety switch is bad or misaligned, it'll do exactly what you're describing. If pulling it down in neutral starts the truck, then that's a sure indicator.
