Won,t shift out of park, no brake light , new bulbs , new brake light switch , all fuses are good ,no current at brake switch

If your 2007 Impala is stuck in park and the gear override silver button doesn't work, there may be a few potential problems that are causing the problem. Here are some common causes and troubleshooting solutions you can try: Brake light switch: The most common cause of this problem is a faulty brake light switch. The brake light switch is responsible for sending a signal to the shift interlock solenoid to release the shifter when the brake pedal is depressed and can prevent the shifter from releasing if the switch does not operate properly. Make sure your brake lights work by pressing on the brake pedal. If they don't work, it's probably a brake light switch issue that needs to be replaced. Shift Interlock Solenoid: The shift interlock solenoid is a mechanism that prevents the shifter from moving without pressing the brake pedal If the solenoid is faulty or a blown fuse can cause the shifter to go into park. Check the fuse connected to the shift interlock system and replace if necessary. If the fuse is good, the solenoid may need to be replaced. Shift Cable: The shift cable connects the shifter to the transmission and allows you to change gears. Damaged, loose, or misaligned cables can prevent the shifter from leaving the parking space. Inspect the shift cable for any obvious issues and make sure it is securely attached to the shifter and transmission. Shift lock control module: Some vehicles have a shift lock control module that ensures proper operation of the shift interlock system. Malfunction of this module can cause the problem. It may be necessary to use a diagnostic scan tool to check for any error codes associated with the module. Ignition switch: Faulty ignition under certain conditions

Well the same brake light switch for the rear lights unlocks the shift lock solenoid. You may be able to shift out of park when the key is between lock and on. There are two fuses involved.

check brake transmission shift interlock fuse BTSI. check the NSBU fuse.which is the transmission neutral switch.if all is good check brake light switch.make sure brake lights working if not check fuse.when you apply brake that will energize brake transmission shift interlock solenoid.so you can shift out of park.if brake light switch is okay and fuse good.the brake transmission shift shift interlock solenoid could be faulty.

the brake pedal has a sensor or switch it may be out.

Check the fuse!


APPLY BRAKES AND SEE IF BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IF NO BRAKE LIGHTS, REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ARM AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. IF THAT BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS BROKE, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET IT OUT OF PARK

Check the bulbs,could be bad or/and the bulb holder is corruded or moisture is present.The wiring could be bad at the bulb.

Stoplight switch directs current to the stop lights, cruise control, and shift interlock to turn them on or off

When not replaced, stop lights will run continually or not function, potentially causing premature bulb failure, safety issues and/or the transmission will not shift out of park

Do the brake light work? No brake lights and it won't shift out of park. Check your fuses and check for loose wires. Check your brake light switch. If that has failed, you won't be able to get out of park. The other one if the shift lock solenoid which is in the shifter assembly. The brake shift interlock switch prevents the car being shifted from park unless the brake pedal is depressed. Try to apply power/ground to the proper wires & see if it will activate.. If it does, then the problem is between the brake light switch & that solenoid. Could be the wires or the switch.Make sure the shifter cable is still held down in place at the shifter assembly & under the hood. It is the interlock switch that you hear/feel clicking.It is for the prior generation but may still apply.

Good Luck and hopefully you soon will be on the road again...;-)

check for a bad brake light fuse! if not the fuse, the brake light switch operates brake lights and if bad you will not be able to shift it out of park, as well as the brake lights not coming on.! because you have to put foot on brake to do so. if bad switch, it wont let it out of park. it could be just out of adjustment also!! good-day !

Check the brake light switch and the bulbs themselves. If the brake light is not working you cannot shift from park.

CHECK FOR BRAKE LIGHTS.IF NO CHECK FUSE.IF FUSE GOOD.BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS FAULTY NEED REPLACING. IN WHICH WILL CAUSE THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SOLENOID NOT TO WORK WHICH WILL CAUSE YOU NOT TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK.IF BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS GOOD.PROBLEM COULD BE FAULTY BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SOLENOID OR FAULTY PARK NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH.

The Focus was desinged in Europe,Think German.......Vw has a similar issue.The brake light switch goes bad.......no lights no shifting out of park.
