What is the Shift Interlock Solenoid all about?

Solenoids are cylindrical coils of metal wire that carry electric currents. The shift interlock solenoid ensures you can’t shift from Park to Drive without first applying the brake. The solenoid inside the interlock system is what allows you to move the shifter. When the brake pedal is pressed, the solenoid receives a signal that releases a mechanical lock on the shifter and allows it to be moved. The shift interlock solenoid also enables the shifter to be moved from Neutral to Reverse and, from Reverse to Park. If the solenoid does not receive the brake pedal signal, the shifter will not be released from its current position. You may not be able to shift out of Park, or if you are in Drive, you may not be able to shift past Neutral back into Reverse or Park.

Keep in mind:

If you can’t get out of Park, a dysfunctional shift interlock solenoid is not the only possible culprit.
If a light on your dashboard indicates that the brake lights aren’t working, your shift interlock may not work either.

How it's done:

The vehicle battery is disconnected
The defective shift interlock solenoid is removed
The new shift interlock solenoid is installed
The battery is reconnected
The vehicle is tested and shifter operation is checked

Our recommendation:

The shift interlock solenoid does not require servicing. It is meant to last the lifetime of your car. If your shifter will not come out of Park, or is stuck in gear, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose the system and replace the shift interlock solenoid if required.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Shift Interlock Solenoid?

Shifter will not move out of Park
Key will not come out of the ignition

How important is this service?

Though it does not present a safety concern, your vehicle is unusable in many cases until the shift interlock solenoid is repaired. Getting your faulty interlock solenoid replaced is essential for normal car operation.

I have a 2009 Lincon Town Car that has 132000 mi. on it. It sat in driveway for 3 years. I decided to start driving it again it is in excellent condition. I had brand new tires put on, oil changed with STP. Coolant added, not much, and everything else checked. I drove it 60 miles round trip with no problem. Put $20.00 unleaded gas which brought up to a half tank. I get 28 miles per gallon. On the way home my steering wheel started vibrating at 60mph. Some lights came on on dashboard 1 shaped like a car with skids under it, than one shaped like a I needed to change oil which I had just done. When I pulled in driveway shut off car it continued to run. I opened hood there is a little square hard steel shaped box centered in front of steering wheel with 4 or 5 steel lines running from it and all were extremely hot. The car ran for 30 minutes than stopped. I am very perplexed. Female 45 and know nothing about engines. But I love Baby! She is the best car I ever owned! The reason we quit driving her because of the gas mileage. But my boyfriend had a stroke and I had an Dodge Avenger I hated! I could please use som RSS help.
