Btsi
I finally took the center console apart and had better access to the brake shift interlock cable and was able to remove it from the shifter linkage. I had to put the key into the ignition, and push down on the brake pedal which gave me extra slack to remove the plastic clip on the end of the cable from the shifter linkage. All works well now and I expect this to work fine in the winter as well.
I found out that the BTSI (Brake Transmission Shift Interlock) switch is located above and in front of the brake pedal (behind the dash). However, this is an electrical connection. Somehow the electrical connection must go to a solenoid which then releases the tension on the cable after the brake pedal is pushed in. I suspect that this solenoid needs to be replaced or the cable itself since everything works fine in warm weather but not in cold weather. In any event, since i disconnected the cable it'll work fine but I'd prefer to fix the real problem and re-enable the BTSI. Does anyone know where the BTSI solenoid is located or where the cable originates from?
