Nissan Repair: 1997 Nissan Altima, nissan altima, shift lock


Question
Car is stuck in the park position.

Answer
Hi Pamela,

You likely have a bad brake switch, fairly common. Have someone stand behind the car and press on the brake pedal. The brake lights should come on, but if they don't, replace the brake switch. If the brake lights do come on then it's probably a bad shift lock solenoid.
