Why does my shifter get stuck in drive?
An open circuit in the shift interlock electrical system can cause the shifter to become stuck in Park if the open circuit interrupts communications between the brake light switch or the ignition switch and the interlock solenoid. If power is present, the shifter interlock solenoid is bad.
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.
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..
Why is my Nissan Pathfinder stuck in Park?
I think it could be the **** lock solenoid or the relay. Hopefully its just the relay because that’ll be easier to get at than the solenoid. Check that your brake lights are turning on. If your brake switch is faulty the transmission (shifter) won’t get the signal to release Park. Brake lights are turning on when the brake is pressed.

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.
