Problem:<br />After starting the vehicle I can't always get it out of Park!<br />Most of the time yes, and sometimes I can rock the ignition switch back into place and it will come out of park.<br /><br />Feels like the spring isnt returning the key to the right place after starting.<br /><br />There is a condition with a blown fuse that this will happen. (Does not have a blown fuse)<br />But I can and have been using the emerg method for the blown fuse to get it out of park.<br /><br />I just read how to take the cylinder lock out. Sounds easy enough.<br />My first question: <br />Is will this give me access to the "spring area" ?<br /><br />My second question:<br />Is this something that can be done in a driveway or is it going to mean taking a whole lot of stuff apart?<br /><br />Thanks for your input<br /><br />Link
Sorry about being so late to do this. I'm usually more on top of things.
Parked the van at 11pm and walked behind it to go into house. Dark outside. No brake lights on.
Next morning I went outside and the brake lights were on.
Battery dead etc.
Took it repair shop. Told them take their time.
Got a call two hours later that it was ready for pick up.
Turns out that the brake light switch had broke and wasn't always making contact when I pushed down on the brake pedal.
Sometime the night before the switch had allowed the contacts to weld together.
$65.00 later and fixed.
Thanks for the help.
