Lukeyboy2k Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Check the stop light (brake light) fuse in the driver's footwell. I had similar issues once and this was the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 untill then, if your really stuck, use the little red button to move the lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) I'd hazard a guess and say that the big button on the auto stick isn't working. You can D, N, 2 and L without that and those are what you have. To check Lukeboy's idea though put your foot on the brake pedal with the engine off and key at stage 2, if it's working you can hear the relay click as you push the brake down.

Swampy442 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 You cant get L if the big button isnt working, you can only get N,D and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 You cant get L if the big button isnt working, you can only get N,D and 2. Ok my bad, has he tried to get L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Can you not take the key out if left in 'N'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Can you not take the key out if left in 'N'? no, needs to be on P position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navtrd Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 luckily managed to get the key out however park and reverse are not working, could it be the over drive button as i removed the end connection inorder to get the gear knob off? thanks for the help so far guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) The overdrive button has nothing to do wth P or R, P is locked/unlocked by a solenoid operated by the brake pedal. If you can select P when pushing the red button then the problem lies in power to that solenoid. As for R thats purely the big button on the gearstick Edited June 30, 2010 by Swampy442 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navtrd Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Iv tried it however i can not select the park or reverse what so ever, the rest are easily selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Can you here the click when you step on the brake pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Did you hold the red button and select P? Did you check the fuses as per advice in post 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navtrd Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 The fuses seem to be fine, iv held the red button down and still cant get it to go into park or reverse, it does make the clicking sound on the brake pedals the only option is to drive up to a mechanic.

Swampy442 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Did you pull the collar up that covers the base of the gearstick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navtrd Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Yes its already removed as most panels were taken out gone in for a retrim i can see the leaver getting selected into gears but wont nudge down enough to go into reverse or park, i dont want to force it too much as it may snap.
