Toyota Repair: Toyota Celica 99, toyota celica, stuck in park


Question
I bought this car off the lot. 2 weeks later we get into a curb check and hit pretty hard. The alignment messed up and everytime we would speed up the car would wobble side to side. We went like that for about another 2 weeks, when the tie rod got loose and other things happened and we got them fixed but, we never got the car aligned, now its stuck in park. What do i do?

Answer
Check to see if the brake lights are working, if not check the fuses on the inside, replace the STOP and the GAUGE fuses. As long as the stop lights are out the shift interlock will not release, you can over ride this by removing a small plastic cover near the shifter on the console, then push the manual release button inside. This will allow you to shift into other gears.
