What To Do If Ford Expedition Is Stuck In Park

[@mikeskibba3091]

I just had to push a 2012 Ford Expedition out of the road while it sat blocking traffic. After watching this video and knowing we couldn’t take the console apart, we checked the owners manual. It explained what to do if it wouldn’t come out of park on the “transmission” pages. There is a little rectangle peg to the right of the shift. Pop that out using a small knife or screwdriver. Under that plastic piece is a switch. Just flip it up and you will be able to get it out of park

[@jms6184]

The video was great but your response put it over the top! Great, great advice!

[@EcceBestia]

Agree... Always RTFM!

[@timtalks8292]

Mike, that takes longer than turning the car off and turning the key to ignition and shift it into neutral and starting it!

Hi, thank you for this video. Can you explain where exactly is that part at @5:19 please ? do you have to crawl under the vehicle ? or is it somewhere inside the vehicle, under the console you just dismounted ? Thank you, I'm experiencing this right now

[@HomeownerRepair]

It is near the bottom of the shifter area. The video will show you how to access it. Check to see if you brake lights are working. If the brake light switch goes bad it can cause this issue. We have a video on how to replace the brake light switch. It is easy to replace.

[@petrtopov393]

Man, you are hero! I have 2011 Lincoln navigator L and it’s the same shifter. Got stuck out of blue and you helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Thank you for watching out auto repair video that shows you how to get your Ford Expedition up ang going if the brake interlock switch has the shifter stuck in park. If the parking brake switch is bad it will cause this to happen. We have a video on how to replace the brake light switch if your is bad. Hope this helps you out.

[@keithharper474]

Thanks for this video. I have a 2010 Expedition that was having the same issue (not coming out of park).. I followed your steps, cleaned and regreased the solenoid plunger and now it works better than it ever has. Thanks again.

[@HomeownerRepair]

If it acts up again it may be the brake light switch acting up that is causing it. I have a video that shows how to replace it.

[@melyndakeenon8648]

Could this be the answer to the problem if it only does it in park?

[@HomeownerRepair]

If you can't take the truck out of park this may be the issue. If the parking brake switch is bad (see if your brake lights are working) if not you may want to replace the brake light switch.

[@chrisgraham2904]

Great information. Worth mentioning that when your addressing an issue on the Ford Expedition, the Lincoln Navigator is a direct cousin and most components, including the shifter mechanism, are identical. The trim removal is slightly different, but very similar. Sounds like the preventative maintenance procedure to avoid this problem is insuring there is adequate lubrication on the solenoid tab. If your in there for something, such as replacing the shift indicator lamp, check and re-grease that tab.

[@HomeownerRepair]

[@walterkeely1499]

If you look at your shifter trim you will see a small rectangular panel on the passenger side towards the front. Pop that out and stick your key in the hole. It releases the shifter with no disassembly needed

[@HomeownerRepair]

That was the first thing I tried and there was no access to it on my 2012

[@MonicaShaw-b9r]

Thank you very much. It took me a few times to watch You but you were very patient as my husband used to be with me and so I learned from you. I'm 73 but I still learned something new today and I found what the problem was. It's where you showed the grease and stuff. Mine is all plastic, it's not metal, but there's a little tab. And it looks like it's a upside down stairs That shifter comes down and that little tab is supposed to go forward. And it didn't so I just ordered me a whole assembly. And I'm going to do R & R , thank you again. For now i push it forward to release the shifter 😊

It is common for the brake light switch to fail on these trucks causing this issue to happen. Keep an eye on the brake lights especially if it happens again.

[@Scott_6666]

Dude, you did this the hard way. There is no need take any of the console apart, just pop the little rectangular cover off that is next to the shift handle and stick your key in there. That will manually unlock the shift handle. It literally takes 10 seconds.

[@HomeownerRepair]

That trick didn't work on this truck for some reason..tried it

Mines is a 2011 and this feature with sticking a key or flat head screwdriver to the right of shifter. Does not have it.

[@keirawalker5139]

I've tried that. It's not that easy

[@theplinkerslodge6361]

Edit: It took me about 15 minutes to change out the brake light switch on my 2008 Expedition - you have to poke your head way under the dash, sitting outside the car. It just twists on and off, the wire harness was easy to disconnect and reconnect. Here i Q1 2022 the switch cost $35 with tax from Autozone - ouch. Original: You saved my bacon. A neighbor of mine called me up for exactly this problem on his chevy sedan about 4 months ago, I youtubed the problem, and disassembled the console to get at the guts and do a work around. Well, a couple of weeks ago I was out in a fairly rural area, away from help, and my 2008 Expedition locked up. I jumped on youtube with my phone, found your video, and was rolling 20 minutes later.

[@christophermuglio4894]

Great info. Changed switch, one year later I have the same problem. What is the next repair, thanks.

[@HomeownerRepair]

I would see if the new switch has gone bad, also check for a frayed wire coming off of the brake pedal switch, you can also want to see if that little slide pin in the shifter may need to be lubricated or if the solenoid to it might be bad. Hope this helps you out.

[@Manafexx]

That was from the factory. It almost like a tiny bit of wheel bearing grease.

[@lewhurlbert9172]

Opposite issue: stuck in gear. Went to turn around and stuck in reverse. Foot on brake thinking about the interlock being stuck and could not get it. Tried turning off and it did but because of the truck in gear would not start. Forcing the shift lever I got into neutral and started. Made it home and can't get keys out when in oark. Vehicle shuts off but doesn't allow key to release. Then I got out and noticed my lights are on and won't turn off because keys are in the ignition.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Check to see if the brake light switch is going bad. If it is it will not release the interlock. Very common problem on these trucks. It's a cheap part and a five minute fix.

You saved me a lot of time, money and frustration and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post this.

[@HomeownerRepair]

If it keeps happening it might be the brake light switch causing the issue. They tend to fail on these trucks. If you’re foot is on the brake and the shifter is stuck see if the brake lights are lit up. If not the brake light switch may be bad. A new one from Ford is only light 25.00 here’s a video on how to replace it kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIG4d5-oo9xgm6s

[@JohnSmith-fb2np]

One of the most common causes of this problem is a blown fuse. 97 to 02 expedition is a BOO fuse. Brake On Off fuse. It is the feed for a splice that includes you shit actuator solenoid and your brake light switch. It is Fuse 13 on the 98 Expedition. Mine did this in a fast food drive through. It was ugly. I remembered the F150 I did a few months earlier. Grabbed a spare 15 Amp and boom. It was fixed. No need to take anything apart.

If you’re in a pinch, turn the key to accessory and start the car in neutral. Make sure to depress the brake but once you have it started you should be good to shift to drive. Thanks

If the brake light switch is bad (which is what happened to me) it will prevent you from shifting into gear.

[@HomeownerRepair]

You may want to start with the basics. Check the brake fluid level to see if it is at the correct level. Also check the fuse to see if there is a blown fuse in the brake circuit that may be triggering the code. You could also have someone put a code an ODB code reader on it to see if there is a stored coded in the system that should point you in the direction as to what might be causing the issue. Hope this helps you out.

Glad this helped you out. Check to see if the brake light switch is failing once in a while. If it is, it will cause that switch not to release up on the shifter. This is what happened to mine, it's common on these trucks. Here is a link to a video that I did on how to replace the switch. It's easy to do if yours is bad. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIG4d5-oo9xgm6s

You had to take your car apart to do this, my father had to get a rental truck because his own needs some body work done and his rental truck is a 2019 Chevy Silverado and it is faster than his and it even has CarPlay so he can control his iPhone from the stereo
