Check to see if your brake lights work. No? check your brake light fuse. OK? change your brake light switch. Your brake light switch powers the brake / shifter interlock. There is usually a way to bypass the interlock- check your owners manual for bypass button location ( its usually next to the shifter)

    I had the same issue. Its was my break light switch. I had to replace it. Located under the drivers side and it connects the break to the breaking system.Ford/Lincoln ended up changing the design for it so when you purchase it , it should come with the addition wiring harness that you will have to cut the current connector plug off and wire connect the new one. Then connect the new designed Break light switch.

I want to know the location of gear shift ilterlock solenoid lincoln aviator 2003
The top of the steering column left side after the 4 way wiper switch but if your gear shift level is moving around a lot your shifter tube bushings are worn and the tube itself maybe broken causing it not to deactivate the interlock so you can get it out of park also make sure your brake lights are working otherwise it will stay locked

2003 aviator won't go into gear
When you say the vehicle "won't go into gear," do you mean you cannot move the lever out of PARK, or do you mean that when you move the lever out of PARK the transmission will not engage?
If the lever will not move out of PARK, check your BRAKE LIGHT fuse, your BRAKE LIGHT switch, and the SOLENOID at the shift mechanism.
If your lever moves out of PARK easily (too easily), it is possible that your shift linkage has broken or come loose.
If your lever moves out of PARK normally but the transmission does not engage, it's time to have the car towed to the transmission repair shop.

Gear shift locks in park and will not move. Had vehicle toured to ford or lincoln dealer 2 times and was told they can not find problem but did get gear shift released by replacing it once but still have...
Contact Lincoln owner relations. There is a switch on the brake pedal which releases the Park setting. This switch can be hit by the driver's feet over and over again.

So if your feet hit the switch and break it or move it the problem will repeat.

2004 Aviator is parked and it will not press down to get out of the park position. What is the problem
Brake light fuse is blown or the shift lock solenoid has gone bad. It is supposed to release the gear shift selector at the same time the brake is pressed.
