if it doh hav a bypass button showin there will be a lil cap to pry off and then push a screwdriver in the hole to release it

[someone904]

is it like stuck stuck, or just a lil hard to move?? i get the lil hard to move problem when the car is placed in park with the foot on the brakes.when the brakes is released the car slightly moves forward and i guess the tranny rest on the park lock thingy in the transmission (not to sure of the name) making it hard to release and the experience of the clunk sound. to solve this i pull the hand brakes first then park then foot brakes to avoid the rocking experienced when the foot brake is released with the car in park with out the hand brake up

if it is stuck and cannot release try using the bypass like cinco said also when you get it out of park check your brakes, had a similar problem where a part in the brakes had seize and was causing the car to keep the car locked in park cause it was not registering that the brakes were fully released

you cold have posted this in my thread so I'd know all whet to check for wen I checking.

anyhow, someone904, you don't have to pull handbrake & then put car in park, you can put it in park & pull the hand brake, just don't let your foot of the brake until you pull the hand brake yet.
but you can work it like you mentioned as well, there is no problem there as far as I know.

Is your brakes light coming on when u mash the brake?

If not you probably have a defective switch located just above the brake pedal) .It is not very expensive and easy to change if you are a DIY kinda person!

[web_phantom]

brakes light coming on, I 'll have tpo check the switch still though

Electrical problem most likely.
If that switch isn't defective above the brake pedal then you may have to see an electrician to find out what is the root of the problem.

this happened to a friend of mine at movie towne turned out to be the alarm system was preventing it from being shifted, once the alarm was overridden it was ok again

same thing I have noticed, only after the alarm was installed that this problem started to occur.


bess almera, all my fuses in order.

mikey_v, is there any other way besides over riding the alarm? has the source of the problem been found?

someone904, slacker_jack, is correct in your case. That happens when you put the lever in park and not pulling up the handbrake properly, and then releasing your foot on brake.

Solution: pull handbrake until it's firmly up and then put car in park. (drum brake must also be in good working order).

if this is your problem you should look at the front and rear engine mounts thats the only time this problem starts occuring
