Why is it stuck in park?

Car starts, brake lights work, Park indicator not lit up. Disconnected battery for 8 minutes, reconnected, same thing.

My 2008 Saturn Vue XE is stuck in park

Are any check engine lights on?

Try this first: Disconnect your battery and wait about 2-3 minutes. Then reconnect it and see if you can shift out of park.

If that doesn't work, you'll need to check the transmission fluid. It could be too low to provide enough pressure to switch gears. It'll need to be checked with the engine warm, idling.

If the transmission fluid checks out fine (it's not low or burned/dark colored), chances are there's a mechanical problem with the transmission or shift linkage. Keep in mind the fluid could also have metal and friction particles blocking the flow of oil through the channels, even if it looks ok.

Here are a few possibilities of what else could be wrong (not an all-inclusive list):

Manual Valve to Detent Lever Link (802)
*Broken or missing
*Disconnected from the manual valve

Manual Valve to Link Clip (801)
*Disconnected

Manual Valve (800)
*Stuck

Shift Linkage
*Disconnected

Valve Body, Channel Plate and Case
*Blocked fluid channels

2003 sierra gauges not working plus dash plus drains my battery any suggestions ?

Try this simple trick. Shut off every thing in your vehicle, radio, ac, lights, windshield wipers etc.Turn off the vehicle put it in park. Disconnect your battery , wait 5 minutes. Then Without turning any thing on leaving the vehicle in park reconnect the battery start the vehicle and let it Idle for approx 10 minutes. This allows your computer to reset all of your gauges. By assuring that everything is off your computer can concentrate on resetting everything correctly without missing a step . This will set your Idle and all of your Gauges. Whenever your battery is disconnected for what ever reason this step should be followed immediately upon reconnect.

2006 2.5 vw jetta automatic vehicle will not shift out of park gear

Make sure you have brake lights, they system must see the brakes applied before the park lock will release. make sure the fuse you installed is good and has 12 volts at both sides of the fuse.

2008 Saturn Vue Stuck In Park. The car starts fine however when you try to shift out of park the shifter is locked up and won't budge. You have to restart the car multiple times to get the shifter...

these have a safety system so the shifter won`t go into any gear unless the brake is pushed(indicating someone sitting in the drivers seat),if the brake lights aren`t working this indicates that the fuse that operates the shift lock solenoid and brake lights is not working and needs replacing.check the fuses and replace the fuse and things will probably return to normal.

1996 dodge stratus will not turn over my daughter could not get the car in park to turn it off , disconnected battery , reconnected wont start but has power

A safety device called the "neutral safety switch" will not allow you to start your car unless it is in Park or Neutral.If you start the car in neutral be careful it doesn't roll by applying the park brake.Then service the shifter-clutch to repair.
