I have to manually push in the little plunger in order to shift out of park. I have already tried the brake switch trick. The brake switch and brake lights function normally. However, the 15A fuse for the transfer box (fuse 21) keeps blowing. I replaced it yesterday and it worked initially, and then burnt out when I went to use the vehicle again. I'm thinking that either that solenoid is going bad or there is a surge of power somewhere causing the fuse to fail and therefore causing me to manually shift. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I have no idea but I will give you a bump.

 

I'm thinking about checking out the XYZ switch and see if that has anything to do with it. I have one from my old transmission that I replaced last year. Its switch should still be good because the only reason I changed the tranny in the 1st place is because the front driveshaft sheered in two and busted a nice gaping hole in the side of the tranny. I read something somewhere that the XYZ switches sometimes go bad because of the AC condensor draining on to it?!?!?! I guess it's worth a shot. Again, I think there must be something grounding out internally (such as XYZ switch or something) that is causing the 15 Amp fuse to blow. I have the shifter cover off so I can push the solenoid's button in os I can shift out of park. It looks pretty unsightly, but you do what you gotta do until it gets fixed. Does Disco Mike have any thoughts on this problem?
