My jeep wrangler safari cant move the automatic shift out of park

97 wrangler

what does that mean, it has no clear meaning at all.
first is car a auto or stick (mines a stick)
stays in gear can mean many things,,,
1: A/t shift lever stuck in drive, you never said what gear,?
2: M/t sticks shift car, , the car moves in gear, with clutch held to floor.

i cant shift to neutral?
I cant shift to park.
I cant what? be clear. please

sure, battery under hood charged,
head lights work> y/n ???????
fuses good.

shift locked in park you mean?
do the brake lights work,
this is called the park lock out. system. (simple)
it keeps car from moving when started in gear.

on this car the PCM logic controls this.
brake lights glowing
the PCM senses the park switch on the transmission
if in park (or neutral) the PCM then energizes the
lock solenoid on the shifter.
or the solenoid is jammed.
check those brakes first. and its fuse. if blown.

Gearshift Park Solinoid Bad Or No Power To It.

try to change you car battery and then shift to park and try to start the engine if that didint help contact me on [email protected] i will help you to get it back agian

The shifter cable has broken more than likely ,Find the shift shaft on the transmission,,block the wheels and remove the shift cable from the shift shaft,put the gear shift in park,then shift the shift shaft in park,then it will start,Then of course you will have to replace the shift cable.

can you go from drive to 2cnd or 1st gear?

Have some one move the shift lever and you watch the linkage under the car to see if the lever is moving on the transmission. Sounds like the linkage is lose. Tighten the bolt on the linkage and you will off and running again.

It could be lash in the differential which is normal, but it could also be a loose u-joint in the driveshaft. Check the rear driveshaft u-joints.

Neutral safety switch is either bad or out of adjustment. On stickshift cars, usually found above clutch pedal. On automatics, aw4 trans is on passenger side of trans, On 727 Chrysler trans it's on the top left rear edge of trans casting just above the pan.

YES IT DOES. CHECK AND MAKE SHURE YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING. IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING , THE SWITCH IS BAD
