Check your brake lights, if they don\'t work the interlocking system will not let you shift from park. If brake lights don\'t work probably the brake lamp switch on the pedal shaft. Check power in and out of switch when stepping on pedal, if nothing coming out, swi
have you checked wire harness @ rear of truck ? and along frame rail, ? and condition of the rear taillight assymblies, ? corrosion could be in these areas. check all ground wires also, not sure about relay ! don' t think so ! why would brakes need one ?
Could be the headlight switch. The switch has two sets of contacts for the parking lights, the park position and headlight position. You may need to check the circuit at the switch to see if you are loosing power when the switch is moved from park to head.
The park lock safety system is tied to the brake lights, so you can't get out of park position unless the brake pedal is pressed and the brake lights WORK, so check the brake lights, if they don't work it is likely the connector to the brake light switch is defective, Ford sells a kit to replace it. Of course also verify the switch is good as well.
check to make sure the brake lights are working as some of these won`t release the park lock if the brake lights don`t work.then check the fuses with a test light and replace as needed
In the early 90's, a safety feature was added to keep people from shifting out of park without having their brakes on. This feature runs through the brake lights (in Fords, at least.) I would bet your brake lights don't work, and if they don't then that would be why you're stuck in Park
