1998 Chrysler Concorde

Thanks for your suggestion, however I checked the linkage cable, it seems fine. I took the center console out to check it. While inside the center console I checked the shift interlock cable also to make sure it was operating properly. Those cables seem fine. I even checked the brake switch and found that I wasn't getting power from the harness. The fuse was fine. I then noticed the brake lights weren't working. No juice to the brake switch --- jeez, I'm now at a loss. I did purchase a full set of Chrysler shop manuals for the car from Michigan, including a electrical manual. Hopefully it'll tell me which of the 5 wires is supposed to have juice. It'll be a week or more before I get the manuals, then I've got to spend some time figuring them out, if I can. I, like you, figured it had to be something simple --- but I'm stumped. Does this car have solenoids for electrical or hydraulic shifting from Park? I don't want to have a shop remove the trans. Too much money to put into the car. What's your next suggestion? Am I on the right track, or am I off base? Any way you can possibly help will be greatly appreciated. I'll send a nice donation after this Friday when I get paid. Thanks, Steve.

Yes, great. When underneath the car, and having someone step on the brake with the shift interlock button pressed and the cable linkage disconnected at the shifter, I tried shifting the transmission lever with a pry bar. It seemed locked pretty solid. Hope this helps. Thanks, Steve.

I'm at a dead stop on the car until you guys can help me, or I'll have to wait until the Service Manuals arrive, then go from there. Have you spoken to your guys yet? Did they have any remedies? Jeez, why can't this be simple like a Rolls-Royce. I've worked on those every day for 33 years. I can pretty much fix anything on them. This Chrysler is a bit out of my realm. If you need someone who can answer Rolls-Royce or Bentley questions, I may be able to help. Thanks again, Steve.

O.K. I'll wait for you to call your guy at Chrysler. Thanks, Steve.
