99 Disco 130K will not shift out of park
DarylJ is all over it.
"Weak Link: Park MechanismModels Affected: '95-'99 Discovery I
What Happens: Controls on the Discovery prohibit the transmission from being shifted out of Park if the brake system is not functioning properly. While this is useful in preventing accidents, unfortunately the controls fail at a higher rate than the brake system.
Sturdy Fix 1: The first step is to see if your brake lights are functioning. If not, check the F1 fuse to see if it is blown. Also check the brake-light terminals to ensure that they are not touching and causing a short.
Sturdy Fix 2: If the fuse is intact, the brake switch is the likely culprit. This switch activates your brake lights as well as the shift interlock solenoid that permits your shifter to move from Park when the brake pedal is depressed. While there is no aftermarket upgrade available, factory replacements are available from Expedition Exchange for less than $35. It is recommended you carry a spare brake switch since they are small, inexpensive, and easy to swap out if necessary."

Well since the new shift selector interlock install didn't work then I will relook at the brake switch, fuse, lights etc.
