Why does my Nissan Pathfinder not shift into gear?
Brake lights are turning on when the brake is pressed. The car will shift into gear when I hit the manual shift release but it will not shift without using it. Does anyone know which relay could need to be changed, I’d rather try that first than trying to get into the center console to change the solenoid.
Why is my Nissan shifter stuck in Park?
It WAS just a blown fuse, but now, after whoever the asshole was, that told you to “hit” it out of park, you have a major repair bill. Welcome to the forum. New Member to these boards, glad to be here as I love my nissan!
What to do when your Nissan Pathfinder is stuck in Park?
You want to get a little pressure off of the parking mechanism in the transmission. It’s not meant to be a brake. That’s why parking brakes aren’t called emergency brakes anymore. So if you do rock it, try and catch your Pathfinder as it rolls behind you. When it’s about to rock forward again, hit the brakes and try to get it out of park.
What kind of switch does Nissan Pathfinder use?
It seems that the issue is that Nissan uses an Omron SS-01 switch rated at 100 mA to operate a Park Solenoid that draws 500 mA. In order to fix it you have to buy the whole shift assembly which is a dealer only part for ($450 + tax). I found one a reconditioned one with an upgraded switch that is rebuilt using an Omron SS-5 switch rated at 5000 mA.

What causes a Nissan shifter to get stuck in Park?
The brake will be fully depressed, and the engine on but the button on the shifter doesnt engage and the shifter wont move. after a couple of minutes, the shifter will let me move into gear. I read in the owners manual that the shifter can get stuck in park if the battery charge is low, but i dont have a battery light coming on..

What should I do if my shift lock is stuck in Park?
If you slowly pump the brakes in park can you hear the shift lock solenoid disengaging and re-engaging? If it’s working intermittently then you may need to replace the solenoid. You should have no problems shifting out of park using the shift lock button, so that’s pretty unusual.
