2001 full size dodge ram van 1500 conversion van. There is a recall for a gear shift lever blocker that will keep the vehicle from being taken out of park without a key that I have not had replaced. That said, my vehicle has had occasional problems and now it seems to be a permanent problem regarding the following: The vehicle has not been driven for about a month and when started, the column mounted shift lever will not come out of 'park'. Is this related to the recall, or is it a relay, brake switch or some other problem that I can fix? Or is it the gear shift blocker? where would this part be located? I am currently on unemployment and have no extra money for a repair I could do myself. Please respond. Thank you.
