Blazer stuck in PARK
My 1997 Chevy Blazer is stuck in park. I know about the shifter
interlock - but I questioned if it was that because my brake lights work and when I push the lever on the shifter I hear a clicking under the dash? Can the lights work and switch be half bad. Can something in the shifter itself be bad? I guess I'll replace it tonight if I know how to ask for the part? Any other problems it could be? Or is this probably it. It is on level ground and seems to rock back and an forth freely an inch or so. Thanks for any help. Shawn |

Per my owners manual, if the interlock fails to disengage, turn off all power, turn ignition key to 'unlock' (one click short of on) move shifter to neutral, start engine.... Try that to see if for sure that the interlock is working correctly. If the shifter won't move with the key in the off/unlock position, the problem should lie with the key/unlock mechanism itself.
