neutral saftey switch

[niaship]

I replace the battery in my car, and i blew a fuse or two. I replaced them with no problem, but when i tried to shift gears i couldnt get it to shift out of park. And on top of that i dont feel the presurre releasing from the brake when i start the car. Can a fuse be the problem?

Nai, I don't think the pedal pressure would be electrical, Did you happen to knock off a vacuum line when replacing the battery? The pressure release comes from the build up of vacuum when the engine starts. As for the park release, I wish I could be of some help, I will check my haynes manual tomarrow, but hopefully someone else will have the solution for you. I'll check this thread tomarrow and see if I can be some more help.

Double check all of your fuses, there is an acutator that activates when you step on the brakes, it moves a lockout lever away from the shifter. If you are in a pinch, take the console apart and take the actuator out, just remember that its there for a reason and get the problem fixed.
