sounds like interlock solenoid is not working. could be bad or some other reason. hard to estimate until actual problem is found.

FIXITMR THIS THING TRIPS ME OUT!

I ANSWERED THIS 19 MINUTES AGO, AND AS I ALWAYS DO, I INSURE IT DID POST---AND IT DID!

NOW I'M NOT SHOWIN' UP??????????

OVERRIDE LOOKS AS THOUGH IT ACTIVATES THE SHIFT SOLENOID BUT BYPASSES THE BRAKE PEDAL

ARE YOUR BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING?
