`99 ign key and shifter lock-out problem
Hi guys, been doing some searching here and seems like a great site.
Having a problem with a `99 Bravada 4.3L, key rotates to start but the starter does not turn. I can remove the starter relay and jump it and it starts right up, swapped relay with another one and same thing. Car has an aftermarket remote starter that does NOT cut any wires, only ties into them. The remote starter is seeing the starter voltage from the key, but no signal is makeing it to the relay under the hood. The relay has 12v+, a ground, the starter post, and the post from the key, nothing happens with a test light with the other end grounded or connected to 12v+. Second problem happened at the same time, maybe related? The floor shifter will not move when I step on the brake with the key 'on or off'. I removed the boot and move the little white lever and it will shift, but not like it should. All fuses are good both under the hood and inside and it has no codes in the computer, any ideas? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Re: `99 ign key and shifter lock-out problem
okay I'm making some progress thanks to crvett69 and a few others in chat, it appears the shift cable is streaching. It will start in neutral, but not in park unless I go under and shove the shift lever back. Try to adjust with the same outcome. Cable on order. If anyone has a link to a thread that discribes how to remove the console and cable that would be awesome.
On the shifter lock out, I can manually move the shifter to low by moving the little white lever along side the shifter while pressing the detent. When in low I disconnect the plug to the lock out solenoid and I have power on one of the terminals, but no power to any other one when the brake is appied. Brake lights work. Plug it back in and I can hear a clicking in the steering collum when I try to depress the top shifter thumb button.

Re: `99 ign key and shifter lock-out problem
Replaced the shift cable today and that fixed the no-start condition.
While the console was out I wrapped a wire tie around lock out solenoid piston holding it out so it shifts. Problems solved.
