THE 2 KET AT THE "AT" KEY SEEM TO BE DOING EACH OTHER WORK

There is a shift solenoid that functions when the brake pedal is depressed. When the ignition is turned on and the brake pedal is depressed the shift solenoid pin retracts allowing the shift to be placed into gear. Using a screw driver only depresses the lever to move the shifter to place it into gear. The ignition key will not go back into park because the pin on the solenoid is extended preventing the shifter to be put into park. The solenoid must be replaced to get everything back to normal.

The shift key is depressed. Hit shift again and it will go back to using the numbers. Any symbol on the top of the key will require the shift key to get it to work.

if the clutch really is working, (lever at bell moves 3/4")
by fine, my guess, is you can take off from dead stop in2nd, right>?
then its a bad shifter. tip.
or linkage (end tranny extension housing)
or transmission actual core.(shift rails, or forks) or worse.
you do know ,that you can disconnect the linkage and test tranny.
by hand,
key off
leakage off
shift to neutral (read the FSM or alldata.com) for how. under M/T sections.
then key on start engine,clutch depressed, the lift pedel
car moves its stuck in 2nd, of not bad linkage.
can do all gears that way, use 2 people and do not stand infront of car doing test.
or put the front wheels up on stands. but do not get near them.
while engine is running.
btw some shifters have plastic parts that go bad in the shifter tip.

or ,
jack up car in front, can you now shift car in to neutral or any gear?
linkage tests.
remove shifter housing and below see the shifter, H pattern
sifter box mechanism.
see that. you can shift that by hand with any small wrench or
large screwdriver, if the works the parts on the end of the shifter
handle main shaft tip are bad.

KET means keytones
AEL means Light ON each time you push any key

Hi Marcy,

Check that the key depresses all the way (same amount as other keys next to it). If so, then the most likely problem is that the keyboard has failed. You can have the keyboard replaced fairly easily.

Keyboard for the Dell Vostro 1520 costs $20 or less depending on where you buy. You can view YouTube videos on how to replace the keyboard or have someone professionally replace it for you.

Check to see if the main drive belt has slipped or broken.

Try this unauthorised repair, pop the key top off make a small spitball and push it down the little hole in the hole and replace the the ket top. It should work. The proper repair is to replace the contact sheet. You need a tech for that.

Hold the code ket down and press the key on the right that says line space in green on it, the lights will change on each depression.

Yes under the hood on the trans is the linkage. Pull that off the trans (should be a clip) and move the lever it was on. If that is stuck it is the trans.

I have 2 of these guitars and neither of them will sync to the WII system! The red lights on both of them just blink and wont sync!!!! HELP
