    automatic shifter lock not disengaging when I turn the ignition??

    I noticed a few weeks ago when I put my key in the ignition and started my car that the shifter lock did not unlock. I can hear it click, but it doesn't release...Can I just disable the lock? How difficult is it to change?

    if it clicks but doesnt release the mechanism might be bad. if you can still push the shift button all the way, thats a shift link cable jam. what happens when you try to shift by sticking a key in the shift lock release? if it shifts then its a problem with the lock mechanism.

    disabling the mechanism is not a good idea, but changing it is easy. pull up the console, take out a few 10mm bolts. though if it still clicks, the solenoid probably became unlinked from the lock mechanism. simple fix without changing anything.

      The shifter will release when I put the key in the shift lock release. As for removing the console, where are the screws located to remove it? I don't want to break anything.

        there should be two screws, one on each side, near the floor. if it doesnt come up you might have to remove the rearmost part of the console. a haynes manual has a very good guide on this

          I removed the console and tried the key to watch the solenoid action. When I turned the key to the on position the solenoid jumped to release and then immediately went back to the lock position so I assume that the solenoid is faulty. So now I atlrast know how to take it apart to replace the solenoid.
