So, i noticed my gear shift interlock was not working. It was always free to shift gears.
so i went and had a look.
i can see that the brake switch is activating the solenoid.
but it is not moving enough to lock the lever in place.
now i can see this wire placed here, that is restricting the movement of the solenoid.
if i move it i can lock or unlock the solenoid and i end up with either free play of the stick or the stick always locked.
Should this be here?
if i remove this it should function as normal?
anything else i am missing?

 

As long as you move the wire out of the way and secure it with a tie wrap maybe and not cut it

While you have the area open notice the location of the 2 blue relays and the not in park switch on the right side of the shift gates

You will notice the long black rectangle box as the linier switch that can get contaminated but can be taken apart and cleaned

The rear view mirror above it has a fluid in it called dragons blood that can drip down into the area

The Mirror has been upgraded to another unit to not do this and can be converted over

There are 2 styles of front windshield glass bonded mounts but leave what you have for a glass bonded mount for now

 

hahaha on the dragons blood….
yeah just wasn’t sure what that wire is, and if it even belongs there or someone added it to keep the interlock inactive….and yeah i cleaned the park sensor switch with contact cleaner so hopefully its all good

 

Yeah someone had jammed it open with this…..
so now removed and its all functional…..

will keep this handy for if ever needed labeled as “gearshift interlock override key”
Designed to compensate for the influx of dragons blood.
