95 legacy

 

started car...stepped on brake and auto shift lever was locked in park

I remembered that there is usually an access hole with an override button

Popped the face plate and shoved a pencil in and I was on my way

 

whats this switch called? its not the neutral safety switch.....

 

how much are these?

is there an aftermarket?

 

but here's a weird thing......as soon as I got going, I noticed that neither directional was working

theres no relationship with the above problem right?

 

Is there one of those round can-like relays under the dash for the directional?  How do I find it and whats it called?

 

thanks gents

 

Shifter interlock switch.

 

But since you also have another problem that popped up at the same time I would check fuses first.

 

It may be a bad ignition switch. Try wiggling the key and see if the signals and interlock start to work.

try the horn and cruise control if you have it.

is the air bag light on?

 

either a fuse, or a ground wire.

mine was intermittent,

it is in remission for now.

 

or maybe the clock spring?

the inter lock may not have anything to do with the horn and air bag,

but these are the 3 things i have trouble with at the same time, i think.

 

when mine would not unlock the shifter,

i used a rubber band to ''release the shifter permanently.

at least until the rubber rotted and snapped.

 

i doubt it is the relay or the solenoid, but maybe.
