Likely a failed or out of adjustment micro switch at the base of the shifter, OR

Possibly one or more loose wire connection(s) at one of those switches, OR

Maybe the shifter mechanism itself is loose and/or just not fully engaging the Park position.


Review these discussions for ideas:

The switch on the shifter broke..Dealership said the car thinks she's in reverse..that's why the Shift to Park comes on.. ..She is there till Monday....Good thing I brought her in..The battery was dead this morning when the tech came in..Hope it didn't ruin my battery...

So you were right on...Love this forum..
Thanks again..
