2004 ford mustang locked i park

This is common. Look under the dash at the top of the brake pedal lever. The switch on the brake pedal lever (sometimes on clutch for stick-shifts) often gets hit by the Drivers' feet. You probably have no Brake lights, which is verification of this problem.
The switch sends a signal to release the shifter from Park. Once you get the brake lights working, the car should shift. You will need to either reposition or replace the switch I mentioned.

Wont shift from park

Check to see if brake lights work. The safety system uses a switch on the top of the brake pedal lever to prevent shifting out of Park without putting your foot on the brake.

If you lose the signal from this switch, it will not come out of Drive. Often the drivers' foot hits and moves or breaks this switch. Look under your dash to inspect this part.

Once you get the brake lights working, it should shift out of Park.

How can i trace a short in my 1998 mercedes e320

check remote batteries for replacement. they may be dead as for the door locks and trunk. as for the fog light, parking brakes situation a short would make them not work. not stay on. the electrical would be fused for that. a short prevents electric from getting to the load or device. i would not think that fog lights would be linked to parking brakes. did you mean parking brake light? the fog lights should be on a switch by themselves or connected to main headlamps

SHIFTER STUCKED IN PARKING IN MY 1996 MERCURY TRACER

Hello, The problem is the Brale pedal lever under the dash. You will probably notice that when you hit your brake pedal the stop lights will not come on. The brake pedal has a switch on it to detect that the brakes are on before you can shift out of park.

The switch under the dash can get hit by feet and either dislodged or broken. When you work on this switch, sometimes called an Interlock switch, when you get your brakes lights to work everything else should start working properly for you. This is a common problem on many of the Ford products.

I hope my solution is very helpful to you.

Both brake lights went out on our 2007 suzuki reno. What could be the problem? When I got in my car it would not come out of park. We had to hit the over ride and then dicovered both brake lights were...

your brake light switch above the pedal has failed or is stuck in. Look up at it to see if it is releasing the button when the brake is pressed. If yes, replace the switch. It only costs about $20, but may be a pain to get in and out. The switch looks like this:

My 1995 honda preludes emergency brake doenst work, when you pull it up it comes up easy and the break light does come on, also my ABS light is on and wont turn off

The parking brake problem could be rear brakes out of adjustment, a broken parking brake cable, or a parking brake cable in need of adjustment.

The ABS light mosy likely has nothing to do with your parking brake problem and will have to be diagnosed by first gathering the ABS fault codes from the ABS computer.

No break light, can not shift gear.

your brake light switch has failed. this will also allow you to shift out of park when you hit the brake pedal. when you hit the brake pedal the brake light should come on and the shift interlock solenoid will activate(you might hear a clicking sound under the dash or near the shift handle) allowing you to shift out of park.
