Won't come out of park

[x0888047]

I have a Ford Expedition 2000 Eddie Bauer edition. It’s always run great with the exception of the automatic locks always acting weird. A couple of weeks ago, it was raining and my wife decided to take it to work. The radio flickered on and off, and the dashboard got dim. Then the radio turned off and would not turn back on. She left the car at home in fear of getting stuck. The next day I tried the car, the radio was on, and wouldn’t turn off, without the key in the ignition, thus draining the battery. I jumped the car and got things going again, but then the windshield wipers, windows and radio now don’t work. After I shut the car down and tried to start it up again, the car won’t go out of park with my foot on the brake.

I have checked all the fuses and I am getting power to the Assy block. I am sure it’s a relay switch or something, since I did ask the Ford mechanic about it, and he knew what I was talking about and smiled when I mentioned the car won’t engage out of park. Is this an easy fix, or do I have to grin and bear it and take it to the Ford dealer???

Any help, comments or ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Mike

Stuck in park

Check the break switch mounted on the break pedal. If it is not working you cant get the shifter out of park.
