[@amalyounis5320]

I was stuck in the parking lot at work after a long, frustrating day and this video was my saving grace before I had a full-blown meltdown. Thank you for being clear and concise in your directions. You are awesome!!!

[@lunchmuny7876]

And can I super glue that button shut?

[@savannahaugustine4959]

Just want to say this video was a life saver. I was able to fix the problem on my own for $25. I have never even changed a tire before! Thank you!

[@ericagreve4862]

YES! I did it, was able to get the plastic panel off with only a credit card, popped right off and after a bit of searching I did find the silver button. Thank you man!!!

[@mandywilliams4429]

Got my car out of park and fixing it now all because of your video, Thank you!!

[@jylromain6439]

Thank you! I was stuck about five houses from home, because I had to make a quick stop. My son came up the next day and showed me this fix. I had put off getting AAA and had no money for a tow. Thank goodness for this and your willingness to share.

[@foundry37]

Thanks!! This video helped a lot. I was actually stuck in a convenience store parking lot when shifter locked up. I immediately came to KZbin to see if there was a fix for it. Your video helped me out of a tough spot. Thanks again.

I’m a girl and fixed it right away🙌🏻 thank you!!!!!

[@apollstar1]

Thanks bro. Helped so much. I even did the wires how you showed with the same part. So glad you showed the part number. And showing the diagram saved me too lol, because my wires were covered in black tape so when I tried to pull the tape off, all the wires pulled out so I had no idea where they went. But you saved me again. Car is shifting perfectly now. Had so many issues with the chevy impala, I kinda don’t ever want one again lol.

[@chuckwilliams5332]

Thank you for this video. I replaced the plug on our Impala tonight, took me about an hour. Problem solved!

[@somethingelse6303]

Bro. Absolutely have to comment and say thanks. Saved my shit. This happened to me once before and I got a tow to the mechanic! Wish I had tried at least looking it up last time lol. Thanks again. MVP!

[@thomaswilliams4296]

Thank you so much. I called a mechanic and he told me $625 and I didnt think I would actually have to pay that much. Im going to work on it myself since I know about wiring. Thanks Brother!!!! 🙌

[@alpagano50]

My 2010 impala had the shiftier problem today, locked up in park and would not come out, this also could be a brake light switch on peddle , check this first,,,make sure your brake lights are working.... first time. with passengers seat back all the way I could pull back the side of console and reach hand up and push button,,,,IT WORKED,,,If it keeps acting up I will fix the connector,,But for now everything is working,,,I went one step farther ,I drilled a 1/4 inch hole right where the button is so I can insert a pencil or Bic pen into hole and push button for emergency. Works great. cost was $00. small hole unnoticeable with seat up 1/2 way. hard to see with seat all the way back.

Thank you very informative!

[@Metaldogg]

Hey thanks GREAT video

[@aaronlarsen7470]

Ive been running into this issue it would let me shift out of park after 5-10 minute I just got done today messing with the switch wiring a little and found it’s a loose wire in the switch. Now I just have to find and order the part to replace it out. Well done on posting this. The dealer ship I went to ask questions at wants to charge 150$ just to tell me ya it’s fucked up. I figure why spend 150-300$ for them to go through the whole thing when 20$ and a few minutes time can fix it just as good.

What do I do if I did what you did but cut purple wire? I spliced purple wire back to same spot you did but still cant get key out. any ideas?

[@e.vasquez9946]

thanks buddy

[@davidanderson3234]

great video now just need to buy the car!!!

[@fredkirk976598]

Will it work if ur engine won't crank but all the electrical power tunes on

[@docgrit441]

This happened to me while waiting on an entrance to a parking garage on a down hill slope. What I found out that the wires leading to the shift lever are too short. There was a kit available from GM that problem. It contained the connector with the butt connectors you need. I can't remember the part number because I'm too old (71). The price was in the mid 40 dollar range. Do not skimp on the crimping pliers you use, you need a good pair. Mine are T&B...

[@fordy808x]

Is there a video on how to do the fix step by step? That would really help. Tha k for video though as it saved me a tow.

[@NORCALPYRO_]

What if i can not get the car to shift into park... locks out between neutral and park????? Same issue?

[@sarahpollock4376]

Is it possible to replace all the wires on your own instead of splicing the wires?

[@Monochrome402]

What is the part called that u spliced the old wires to?

[@mromero2372]

If anyone can help having the same problem I hit the button inside to get me where I need to but my problem is the black wire is broken with mines don’t know if buying the new connector will still work or is new wires suppose to be bought too

[@Nickypeters89]

Niice!!!

[@riku3697]

I was told there was a bar you had to replace not at electric piece. Could you help me understand this better. Does the gear shifter have a bar that goes to shift the gears can it break. I’ve been told that’s why the gear shifter gets stuck. It is it just this electrical part need replacing

[@RaselaLavea]

Hi Wendell! What if my car is stuck in Drive and won't park after resetting like you showed? I haven't been able to get further than that. I so appreciate this video!

[@RaselaLavea]

Also, it will not restart and is stuck in drive no matter what gear I shift into.
