Hello,

First make sure the gear selector is all the way in park. If okay this can be caused by the shift interlock cable being out of adjustment or broken here are instructions and diagrams to show you what to look for when checking and replacing the cable. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
