Depends on what you are trying to do and the model you are doing it to. I have worked on a few ******* around that vintage but I don't remember any particular problems removing the front subframe. All ******* of each age share the same basic construction and layout but details differ depending on model, making a repair manual desirable though not necessary. I found most tasks fairly intuitive. I suggest you take another look, using a strong light and a mirror if necessary.

Boot solenoid needs checking, the unit is usually found in the boot lid . It may have become unplugged or the wiring could have broken or worn through. Check the wiring where it should be taped securely to the boot hinges. If you put a meter across on resistance and get a zero reading then the solenoid has failed and needs replacing.

Start with checking the brake light switch. follow the brake pedal up the metal arm until you see a little switch pressed against the metal arm. When the brakes are pressed, the switch button extends and unlocks the shift lever and turns on the brake lights. It is common for a little plastic piece to deteriorate and break away, causing the brake lights to stay on and can damage the shift lock solenoid. Attached is a photo of the brake switch where it contacts the pedal arm. There is a little snap cover beside the shifter. You can pry it open with a little flathead screwdriver and insert a thin object inside to release the shift lock and get out of gear until you find the fix.

The unit is in the side pan. The entire trans must be removed before the cover can be removed. There is no switch on this vehicle.
