Just had the same problem today...there is a small square false door just below the D on the shift plate...the tow guy put a pen into that door and i was able to shift it out of park. now the car won't shift gears as i drive because the car is in 'safe mode'. disconnect the battery to correct. the shifting issue is still unsolved but it appears to be an electrical issue in the transmission but NOT the actual transmission. hope this helps
first, most inexpensive and do it yourself solution is the 'brake light switch' $20-35 and 30 mins fix. don;t let the MB dealership tell you you need a new shifter and plate for $$$$ b/c "you got it wet" try this first. the car is in "limp mode" to shift out of park use the pen and stick it in to the release window below the D-drive on the shift plate. but before any of it, disconnect the battery to get it out of "limp mode"
Hi, I have a 02 Mercedes and im having trouble with the shifter. It only lets me go into drive and nuetral no park or reverse, I was reading what you wrote when the other person posted about the thier shifter. I need more clarification. (excuse me im a femaile in desperate need of my car to be repaired without spending 900+) Sooo the brake ligt change and unhooking of batttery is a quick fix ? or just the battery. Thanks in advance for your help
