Stuck in Park

[Lashsquat]

Hi Guys,
love my vehicross and glad to find others that feel the same....
i read the post about trying to fix the cd player jamed and followed the instructions of disconnecting the neg cable and pressing the eject botton and cut key on, press brake pedal,well it did not work for my cd player but the worse part is now my vehicross is stuck in park ! i thought i probably blew a fuse but i check ever fuse under the hood and inside driver door, any help would be great,

Are you parked on a hill? If you don't use the E Brake on a hill this can happen. Also could be the brake not depressed enough...you can not shift out of park unless the brake is depressed. You may try and do a search. If I remember correctly there was another thread here on this same subject. Good luck and welcome to this addiction!

Had this happen once (not on the VX) but the shift safety switch behind the brake pedal finally gave up the ghost. I simply had to replace the switch and it was all good....It's the small stuff that drives you NUTZ!

Or pull the console and circumvent the shiftlock, if you're in a bind.

The VX uses a cable from the brake pedal to the mechanical interlock switch by the shifter. If any work has been done under the dash, it is likely the cable was kinked or moved to where it will not move properly.
