Check the brake switch for power if it has -you probably short circuited the shift interlock control system

on the shift interlock switch ,i am hoping it is that 16 pin plug with that slide switch in between it outherwise you have to pull the steering wheel and the whole column down to get at this actuator,is this true ,and can it be replaced without this much work thanks greg
