My shifter is stuck in park. The button on the shifter is not disengaging the shifter and there is no release slot to manually override it what do I do?

Check room and meter fusees in fuse box under dash see if they are blown otherwise you'll have to see if cable is broken or stuck

It's best to have apro do that, as several things have to be removed like parking brake to get to it.
